Hi All,

MS excel 2007 tracks unusual formula occurrences and makes suggestions with green triangles. If I "ignore" option the errors and then save my spreadsheet they still come up on other machines, specifically a Mac user.

Question: Is there a way to remove this feature from a specific spreadsheet?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Three ways, but none perfect.

1.) Change whatever in your sheet or formulas that causes the Green triangles.

2.) If you are using sheet protection and hide the formulas, they are not displayed.

3.) Use an auto-executing macro that runs when the workbook is opened to turn off that Error checking option...

Alt+F11 to open the VBA editor
Double-click on ThisWorkbook in the VBAProject window (Upper left)
Paste the macro code below in the edit window

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.InconsistentFormula = False
End Sub
