This will be changed in the next version I'm sure.

Can you add Sunwell Plateau boss armor values next time you do a fix to the sheet? <.<

The author will need to know how much armor those bosses have first, and since these are not yet listed in this thread yet : [RAID] Boss armor values
You may need to wait a bit longer.

So I'm a Mac user, and since Microsoft delivers us lousy versions of Officer I got used to a less functional version of this spreadsheat. But I also have a pc, that I don't use for anything much but since it's worth nothing anymore selling it is not a real viable option.
Nevertheless, I wondered how cool the armory import and macro's and shit are, so I booted my pc, installed me Office 2007 and downloaded the spreadsheet. Some stuff didn't work so I read the first posts completely and saw I needed to install some extra stuff. Got me .net framework 3 or something like that, and that should fix it all.

But now I open the spreadsheet and the first thing I get is this;

"This workbook has lost its VBA project, ActiveX controls and any other programmability-related features."

I'm not keen on reading all the posts here to figur out if someone posted it already or not, and I'm no full fledged Windows/MS Office user so I'm not going to try and figur it out myself. So I'm asking you guys for a solution. (In return you can always PM me when you have some Mac OS X problems whenever you decide to switch )

You will either get flamed or ignored for posts like these and I really want to do both. Unfortunately that means you'd troll longer so instead I suggest you change the security settings of Office to allow macros.

Well thank you for your 'slightly sarcastic help', but I Microsoft Software skills are just enough to know Windows Systems are a big security leak and thus all settings for code and auto-run stuff are disabled by default.

Yet, as a Mac User on a Windows System, I still feel like noob so to review: I chose these settings;

ActiveX Settings:
- Enable all controls without restrictions and without prompting (not recommended; potentially dangerours controls can run)
- No Safe Mode
Macro Settings:
- Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run)
- Trust acces to the VBA project object model
External Content Settings:
- Enable all Data Connections (not recommended)

So in short: evil excel files can screw me over big time.

Yet when I open the file I still get this error;
"This workbook has lost its VBA project, ActiveX controls and any other programmability-related features."

Is there someone, unlike Professor Hurt, that really has a clue how to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I missed your reply and no one else picked up the discussion. I assume you mean to say that if you know your own dodge/resist rate, that you should able to quantify how many extra CPs the talent will yield for you. Like I said, you need to know the number of attacks coming in, and since this number changes for every single encounter (and really isn't consistent from fight to fight for most encounters), you can't model it effectively.

I know a number of people have reported issues with Excel 2007 and get that error. I do not run 2007 myself so its hard to diagnose although others on this board have gotten it to work somehow.

I suspect it to be one of the following (speaking in general - not necessarily your particular case):
1) You do not have the MSXML6 library installed (also linked on the download page)
2) Your security settings are too high. (Although in your case it appears you have resolved that).
3) Some other Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware program is preventing Macros from running or otherwise stripping them from the spreadsheet automatically.

One thing I can add. Once you make changes to your security settings (or anything else), you need to close the sheet and Excel and reopen it to make it work again or else you get the same error (despite fixing the issue). 2003 forced me to do this, I suspect it will be the same for 2007.

In terms of Mac compatibility, the ONLY difference in functionality right now should be the Armory Import. All other Macros should work just as well on a Mac. One reason the saved builds is so useful, especially for Mac users, is that
once your gear is in the spreadsheet, you should be able to use all functions of the sheet even without the Import functionality.

As on the moment, that's all I know. Maybe someone who has gotten it to work with Excel 2007 can provide more information.

I use Excel 2007 under Windows Vista and haven't ever had a problem with the spreadsheet's macros. Even with the default macro security settings, when I load the sheet, it just gives me a message that macros are disabled and to click a button to enable them. I certainly don't get the error that Blankstar (and some others) have gotten, and once I enable the macros, it works just fine.

Personally I suggest making sure your Office suite is fully updated. The easiest way is to allow Windows Update to update other Microsoft products, which includes the Office suite. There is a service pack for Office 2007 (which I have installed), which perhaps fixed this issue, although I really can't say.

Another possibility is that Office 2007 behaves differently under Windows XP, but I can't really help with that.

I'm sorry for my sarcasm, but the feeling of "tell me what to do, I don't want to spend any time figuring it out myself" in your first post wasn't helpful. I know from experience (and inexperience) that those types of posts hold no merit and rarely earn a reply, and despite the tone, I still gave you as much input as I could - that being the typical fix for the problem you're having. Regardless, your second post clearly showed you put more work into it now, which is something I recommend anyone does before they post here with questions.

As far as additional input beyond what DMM just posted, I only suggest you head off to office.microsoft.com and verify you have all office-specific updates installed (there are likely to be several service packs available, plus more patches). You may even need to bring your windows installation fully up to date as well.

As far as I could tell, I've set every setting as I should, but can't seem to find the fist weapons that drops in Mount Hyjal from trash, which was added in 2.4. I ofc. modelled them myself, just want you to know.
MH:
[Claw of Molten Fury]
And its counterpart, OH:
[Fist of Molten Fury]

According to Wowhead, the setbonus has a 100% proc chance, but would need further testing.
Wowhead - Fists of Fury

Assuming you Gem Midnight with Glinting Pyrestone, Rigid Lionseye, and Shifting Shadowsong; and that you gem Slayers with 2x Rigid Pyrestone and a Shifting Shadowsong:

Using the EP Weights from the Roguecraft 101 Thread for T6 Level Gear (Combat Swords):

Slayer's:
50 Agi - 108 EP
35 Hit - 84 EP
28 Crit - 46.8 EP
100 AP - 100 EP
Total: 338.8 EP

vs.

Midnight:
10 Agi - 21.6 EP
44 Hit - 105.6 EP
46 Crit - 76.8 EP
114 AP - 114 EP
Total: 318 EP


So unless I'm missing something, the Slayer's comes out as being better in terms of base EP, not even taking into account the T6 Set Bonuses
