Hi,

I've been using an Excel spreadsheet for the last year on Windows XP and Office 2003. Each month I send it out to various members of staff for them to fill in and send back. The spreadsheet was written in 2003.

We have just recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Office 2010. When I use the spreadsheet it is fine, but my staff have come back to me & said that they choose an option from the drop down list (there are several in the file) and then click out of the cell the text disappears.

I find it very odd that it's always worked in the past, no issues and now suddenly it's not working. I might add that I am in the main office & sending out to members of staff who work at home - their laptops have also been upgraded.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the issue?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
