Excel: EDITION.OPTIONS() Function Doesn't Update Until Save
Last reviewed: September 12, 1996
Article ID: Q111384
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, if a published edition is created, then canceled, and a new edition is created in the same folder with the same name, you will receive the following error message:
Error Creating Publisher. No Publisher was created.
CAUSE
In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, using the EDITION.OPTIONS() function to cancel a published edition will not delete the edition until the document is saved.
STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the FILE.DELETE() function in the macro after you use the EDITION.OPTIONS() function. The EDITION.OPTIONS() function removes the edition from the document, while the FILE.DELETE() actually deletes the edition file.
The FILE.DELETE() function allows the macro to run without requiring a save after executing the EDITION.OPTIONS() function. The following is an example of how this macro might look.
=ACTIVATE("Worksheet1") =SELECT("r1c1:r10c1") =CREATE.PUBLISHER("Test") =EDITION.OPTIONS(1,"test",,1) =FILE.DELETE("test") =SELECT("r1c2:r10c2") =CREATE.PUBLISHER("test") =RETURN()
