New/improved

• General
  A few small improvements and bug fixes based on the feedback from our users.
• Web » Decode all URL and HTML encoded text
  Didn't decode all characters in 64-bits edition of Excel. This is now fixed.
• Web » Clean data and formatting...
  "Fix (text)numbers" didn't always work in version 7.7 due to a bug. This is now fixed.
• New: Write out numbers in French
  Text » Spell/write out numbers or amounts (EN, DE, NL)...
  Has been renamed to "Spell/write out numbers or amounts (EN, DE, FR, NL)..." because the French language is added by request.
  You can now write out numbers/amounts  in French via this tool or by using the =ASAPSPELLNUMBER() worksheet function.
  

In the universal "32+64-bits edition" for Excel 2010 and later only:

• New: Remove duplicated values per row in your selection
  via ASAP Utilities Options » New tools in development (English only)
  "Remove duplicated values per row in your selection"
  This will remove the duplicated values per row in your selection.
  
• New: Quickly rename sheets multiple sheets at once
  via ASAP Utilities Options » New tools in development (English only):
  "Rename sheets"
  This allows you to quickly change the names of multiple or all sheets in your workbook at once.
  You can choose to add text at the en of the name of each sheet, add it at the front, perform a find & replace on the sheet names or name the sheets based on the values in a range.
  
  
  
• =ASAPGETCOMMENT(cell)
  This function now also returns the content of the new Excel 365 threaded comments when used.
  In Excel 365 Microsoft now calls the legacy comments "notes" and has introduced a new style of comments.
  (Microsoft: The difference between threaded comments and notes)
• Objects & Comments » Comment tools...
  "Extract/report content of comments" now also returns the content of the new Excel 365 threaded comments when used.

• General
  A few users got an "Can't find DLL entry point GetTickCount...." error
  That was caused by certain software that blocked access to standard Windows functionality.
  We've got this reported about 5 times, and the information on the following page helped the clients to solve it:

  In that case you may have to add ASAP Utilities to a whitelist in Cylance Protect

  In this new version of ASAP Utilities, we've used a workaround for this Windows timer function and also added some extra error handling to prevent that error from in case blocked.
