One of my users just came to me with something I have not seen before. When she opens a couple of her files, she gets a "version" at the end (.xlsx:1,.xlsx:2, etc). She said opening the file can even open separate instances of Excel and put the different version of the file in the separate versions of Excel. This seems crazy to me and I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this. We are using Office 2007. Any ideas??

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
It sound like she has saved the file with multiple windows open. Try clicking the grey X (top right) to close a window.
