Features not supported in earlier versions of Excel

Trying to save a 2003 workbook in 2010. Not sure where I made the changes that are causing compatibility issues, but I'd like to track them down and get rid of them.

When the dialog pops up, there's no chance to check the source of the problem like there normally would be. Is there any other way to track down the location of the issue?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Yeah... there's no "Find" option for some reason when I see this dialogue.

There's code on there to avoid the compatibility checker. But I don't necessary want to avoid the checker, I just want to find the issue.

I don't see anything really specific in the "conditions that will be flagged" link either.

Is there any way to track it down if the "find" feature is not available in the checker? I'm not even sure why that would be absent.

I did finally manage to track down one of the problems, but not the other one yet... There was some font that was a blue color apparently not found as a default in earlier versions of Excel.

And the compatibility checker still won't show me where either other issue's at.
