Hi, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change the default for the Compatibility Checker "Select versions to show" drop-down list (i.e. 97-2003, 2007, 2010). When running a compatibility check in a large workbook with lots of pivot tables, the compatibility checker can take quite a long time to run (upwards of 2 minutes), so it would be helpful to eliminate all but 2010 from the options (I don't care if 2007 or 97-2003 aren't compatible). Anyone know a way to do this? Or am I stuck with all 3 being selected by default? My organization is about half 2013 and half 2010, so for the time being I need to maintain one-generation backwards compatibility. Thanks

Edit: the Compatibility Checker actually runs *before* you have the option to change "Select versions to show" which is kind of backwards to me, but you know, Microsoft.

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
