Excel freezing

Postby dealbanker » Wed Jun 28, 2023 1:14 pm

Hello

Does anyone else have problems with their excel sheet freezing?
I checked and found that GRUSS itself was still functioning correctly but my sheet data just stops.
Everything in the sheet, including the timer just stops. Anything from 1 or 2 seconds through to 20+ seconds today.
There is no code being used just, cell formulas and this has only started in the last week.

Is this a common occurrence or is there a setting in excel that may need to be changed?

In the Excel menu select Display Excel link activity

What does it display when it stops updating?

Normally it should look like the following:-

14:34:22:264: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:22:286: Excel update skipped. First update after market changed.
14:34:23:156: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:23:307: Excel updated.
14:34:24:165: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:24:180: Excel updated.
14:34:25:151: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:25:177: Excel updated.
14:34:26:177: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:26:190: Excel updated.
14:34:27:166: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:27:184: Excel updated.
14:34:28:222: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:28:237: Excel updated.
14:34:29:169: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
14:34:29:179: Excel updated.

Thanks for the tip Gary but can not find this in 2007 and no joy searching the internet for anything anything like it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant the Excel menu in Betting Assistant.

Very odd. We have had no other reports.

So it froze at 10:25:59:615? Was Betting Assistant interface still updating the grid and responsive?

Can you send a diagnostic log.
1) Select "Open settings folder" from the options menu.
2) Email the file named "BA_Diagnostic-2023-07-03.log" from the folder named "BA Diagnostics" to admin@gruss-software.co.uk

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
