Date Filters Not Available for Pivot Table / Chart

Date Filters are not supported in Excel 2003 compatibility mode.

Re-save document in Excel 2007 format and the options will no longer be greyed out.

Mac OS X

File Not Found

When starting Microsoft Excel 2004 for Mac OS X you may get the error "File Not Found".

First place to check is the Excel Startup folder:

ljackson 14:46:50 ~/Library/Preferences> cd /Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ 2004/Office/Startup/
ljackson 14:47:33 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup> ll
drwxrwxr-x   4 ljackson  admin  136B May  3 14:39 Excel
drwxrwxr-x   2 ljackson  admin  68B Apr  8  2004 PowerPoint
drwxrwxr-x   2 ljackson  admin  68B Apr  8  2004 Word
ljackson 14:47:33 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup> cd Excel/
ljackson 14:47:37 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Excel> ll
total 96
-rw-r--r--   1 ljackson  admin    25K May  3 14:15 8DAE9700
-rw-r--r--   1 ljackson  admin    16K May  3 14:39 Personal Macro Workbook

In my case the alphanumerical file was generated when Excel crashed. So I will delete it:

ljackson 14:47:38 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Excel> rm -f 8DAE9700 
ljackson 14:47:53 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Excel> ll
total 40
-rw-r--r--   1 ljackson  admin    16K May  3 14:39 Personal Macro Workbook

Now I don't get the anoying error "File Not Found" every time I launch Excel.
