My company is currently upgrading from excel 2007 to 365 Pro-Plus(current version 2013) and we are running into quite a few issues regarding lookups and linked spreadsheets.

Excel Spreadsheet refreshing data from disconnected sources
Users regularly email spreadsheets that use external data sources which are then severed when the item is emailed. In Excel 2007 the spreadsheet would retain the data stored in the spreadsheet. 2013 behaves differently and will try and access the data from the external sources, when it fails it will replace the data with #VALUE with an indication that the data source could not be reached. Is there a general setting that we can apply that would change this back to what we were used to in 2007?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
I imagine that this behavior can be changed via group policy or a reg key. I just don't know where to look. Any thoughts?
