My company upgraded to Excel 2007 just recently and I am have issues with the new version. When I open some files created in Excel 2003 and save them in Excel 2007 as an Excel 1997-2003 file I get the following error, "File Error: Data may have been lost." I have noticed that this error occurs in files where I have used a yearfrac, EOD or any other formula from the analysis toolpack. All the cells where I used one of these formulas turns into a =#N/A as text, not even an error from a formula.

I have had our IT depart install the following patches but neither has worked:

and

(this link is to hotfix 958133 from Microsoft)

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
