Hi,

Probably the file is blocked due to a recent security update. See: https://jkp-ads.com/Articles/excel-add-ins-fail-to-load.asp

Hi Jan Karel,

I get the following message when RefTreeAnalyser tries to update, either automatically or manually:
"Checking for updates has failed: Unable to fetch latest build number from www.jkp-ads.com".

Can you please advise how to resolve?

Many thanks in advance!
Apostolos

Hi Apostolos,

Please download the version from the site and replace your RefTreeAnalyser files on your disk with the ones in the download. I have changes my site from http to https, which causes the update process to fail on the older versions.

Hi Jan Karel,

I updated RefTreeAnalyser successfully to v2.0 129. While the "Report Formulas" tool worked marvelously in the past, when I am running it now, Column D of the report (headed "Used in"), which includes the address of the ranges where each formula is applied, now shows many "#VALUE!" errors. Further, there are no hyperlinks to the respective ranges, which was an extremely useful functionality of the tool. Do I need to change some kind of setting? I am using the Professional Plus 2016 version.

Best Regards,
Apostolos

Hi Apostolos,

The "UsedIn" column now contains a formula which points to the cells using the formula.

The trick is to use RTA itself to traverse those references, simply by using trace precedents (control+shift+[ short-cut)

Hello,

In the RefTreeAnalyserXL Build 151 there is a typo in the file where the following question is asked during opening of an Excel file after installation:

'This is an unregistered version, updates are diabled. Would you like to purchase a license?'

'diabled' should be 'disabled' in the text.
