Office Excel 2007 features that are not supported in earlier versions of Excel
Applies to: Microsoft Office Excel 2007

Print
Not all Microsoft Office Excel 2007 features are supported in earlier
versions of Excel. When you work in compatibility mode or want to save
an Excel 2007 workbook to the file format of an earlier version of
Excel, the Compatibility Checker can help you identify issues that may
cause a significant loss of functionality or a minor loss of fidelity
in the earlier version of Excel. To avoid the loss of data or
functionality in an earlier version of Excel, you can then make the
necessary changes to your Excel 2007 workbook.

The Compatibility Checker lists the issues it finds, and provides a
Find and Help button for most issues, so that you can locate all
occurrences of the issue, and get information on best ways to solve
the issue.

NOTE When you click Find in the Compatibility Checker, Excel
typically selects only cells and ranges that are affected by
compatibility issues such as cell formatting inconsistencies,
incompatible values in cells, or cells and ranges that contain data
outside the row and column limit of earlier versions of Excel.
However, when specific features such as grouping have been applied to
cells that are affected by compatibility issues, Excel selects the
entire worksheet range containing the grouped cells that are located
outside the row and column limit of earlier versions of Excel instead
of selecting just those grouped cells.

The following worksheet issues cause a significant loss of functionality:

ISSUE SOLUTION
This workbook contains data in cells outside of the row and column
limit of the selected file format. Data beyond 256 (IV) columns by
65,536 rows will not be saved. Formula references to data in this
region will return a #REF! error.
In Excel 2007, the worksheet size is 16,384 columns by 1,048,576 rows,
but the worksheet size of earlier versions of Excel is only 256
columns by 65,536 rows. Data in cells outside of this column and row
limit is lost in earlier versions of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the cells and
ranges that fall outside of the row and column limits, select them,
and then place them within the column and row limits or on another
sheet by using the Cut and Paste commands.

This workbook contains dates in a calendar format that is not
supported by the selected file format. These dates will be displayed
as Gregorian dates.
In Excel 2007, you can create custom international calendar formats,
such as Hebrew Lunar, Japanese Lunar, Chinese Lunar, Saka, Zodiac
Chinese, Zodiac Korean, Rokuyou Lunar, and Korean Lunar. However,
these calendar formats are not supported in earlier versions of Excel.
To avoid loss of functionality, you may want to change the calendar
format to a language (or locale) that is supported in earlier versions
of Excel.
For more information, see:
Display numbers as dates or times
This workbook contains dates in a calendar format that is not
supported by the selected file format. These dates must be edited by
using the Gregorian calendar.
In Excel 2007, you can apply a non-Western calendar type, such as Thai
Buddhist or Arabic Hijri. In earlier versions of Excel, these calendar
types can only be edited in Gregorian.
To avoid loss of functionality, you may want to change the calendar
format to a language (or locale) that is supported in earlier versions
of Excel.
For more information, see:
Display numbers as dates or times
This workbook contains more cells with data than are supported in
earlier versions of Excel. Earlier versions of Excel will not be able
to open this workbook.
In Excel 2007, the total number of available cell blocks (CLBs) is
limited by available memory. In earlier versions of Excel, however,
the total number of available CLBs is limited to 64,000 CLBs in an
instance of Excel.
A CLB includes 16 worksheet rows. If all rows in a worksheet contain
data, you would have 4096 CLBs in that worksheet, and you could have
only 16 of such worksheets in a single instance of Excel (regardless
of how many workbooks you have open in Excel).
To ensure that the workbook does not exceed the 64,000 CLB limit and
can be opened in earlier versions of Excel, you should work in
Compatibility Mode in Excel 2007 after you save the workbook to Excel
97-2003 file format. In Compatibility Mode, Excel keeps track of the
CLBs within the active workbook.

Use Office Excel 2007 with earlier versions of Excel
The following worksheet issues cause a minor loss of fidelity:

ISSUE SOLUTION
Earlier versions of Excel do not support color formatting in header
and footer text. The color formatting information will be displayed as
plain text in earlier versions of Excel.
In Excel 2007, you can apply color formatting to header and footer
text. You cannot use color formatting in headers and footers in
earlier versions of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Fix if you want to remove the
color formatting.
This workbook contains worksheets that have even page or first page
headers and footers. These page headers and footers cannot be
displayed in earlier versions of Excel.
In Excel 2007, you have the option to display different header and
footer text on even pages or on the first page. This option is not
available in earlier versions of Excel. Even page or first page
headers and footers cannot be displayed in the earlier versions, but
they remain available for display when you open the workbook in Excel
2007 again.
If you frequently need to open a workbook in an earlier Excel file
format, you may want to stop using even or first page headers or
footers for that workbook.
For more information, see:
Add or change page headers and footers
Some cells or styles in this workbook contain formatting that is not
supported by the selected file format. These formats will be converted
to the closest format available.
In Excel 2007, different cell formatting or cell style options are
available, such as special effects and shadows. These options are not
available in earlier versions of Excel.
You can accept the closest available format that is applied when you
continue saving the workbook, or you can change or remove a cell style
that is not supported before you save the workbook in an earlier Excel
file format.
For more information, see:
Apply, create, or remove a cell style
This workbook contains more unique cell formats than are supported by
the selected file format. Some cell formats will not be saved.
In Excel 2007, you can use 64,000 unique cell formats, but in earlier
versions of Excel, you can only use up to 4,000 unique cell formats.
Unique cell formats include any specific combination of formatting
that is applied in a workbook.
For more information, see:
Apply, create, or remove a cell style
This workbook contains more unique font formats than are supported in
the selected file format. Some font formats will not be saved.

Excel table issues

The following Excel table issues cause a minor loss of fidelity:

ISSUE SOLUTION
The table contains a custom formula or text in the total row. In
earlier versions of Excel, the data is displayed without a table.
In Excel 2007, you can use custom formulas and text in the total row
of a table, but this is not supported in earlier versions of Excel.
Although the formulas will remain, the range will no longer be a
table. If you want the table to remain in earlier versions of Excel,
you may want to remove the custom text and use only the formulas that
are available in the total row.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the table that
contains a custom formula or text, and then remove that formula or
text from the total row.
For more information, see:
Total the data in an Excel table
A table in this workbook does not display a header row. In earlier
versions of Excel, the data is displayed without a table unless the
Header Row check box is selected (Table Tools, Design tab, Table Style
Options group).
In Excel 2007, you have the option of displaying or hiding the header
row of a table. In earlier versions of Excel, a table always has a
header row.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the table that is
displayed without a header row, and then display a header row.
For more information, see:
Turn Excel table headers on or off
A table style is applied to a table in this workbook. Table style
formatting cannot be displayed in earlier versions of Excel.
In Excel 2007, you can quickly format a table by applying a
theme-based table style. In earlier versions of Excel, you can only
format a table manually.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the table that has
a table style applied, and then remove that table style.
For more information, see:
Format an Excel table
A table in this workbook is connected to an external data source.
Table functionality will be lost, but the data remains connected. If
table rows are hidden by a filter, they remain hidden in an earlier
version of Excel.
To avoid losing table functionality in earlier versions of Excel, you
may want to disconnect the external data source before you save the
workbook in an earlier Excel file format.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the table that is
connected to an external data source, and then disconnect the table
from the external data source. In the earlier version of Excel, you
can then connect the data to the external data source.
For more information, see:
Use Microsoft Query to retrieve external data
Create, edit, and manage connections to external data
A table in this workbook has a read-only connection to a Windows
SharePoint Services List. Table functionality will be lost, as well as
the ability to refresh or edit the connection. If table rows are
hidden by a filter, they remain hidden in an earlier version of Excel.
To avoid losing table functionality in earlier versions of Excel, you
may want to disconnect the table from the Windows SharePoint Services
list before you save the workbook in an earlier Excel file format.
You can also decide to create a SharePoint list that is read/write
only in the earlier version of Excel, and then work on this workbook
in Compatibility Mode in Excel 2007, which keeps it in Excel 97-2003
file format.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the table that has
a read-only connection to a Windows SharePoint Services List, and then
disconnect the table from the SharePoint List. In Excel 2003, you can

Working with different PivotTable formats in Office Excel
A PivotTable in this workbook has fields in compact form. In earlier
versions of Excel, this layout will be changed to tabular form.
In Excel 2007, you can use compact form (alone or in combination with
tabular and outline form) to keep related data from spreading
horizontally off of the screen and to help minimize scrolling — fields
are contained in one column and are indented to show the nested column
relationship. In earlier versions of Excel, only outline form and
tabular form are supported.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the PivotTable that
has fields in a compact form, and then change that format to tabular
form as needed.

conditions to sort data by, but earlier versions of Excel support sort
states with up to three conditions only. To avoid losing sort state
information in earlier versions of Excel, you may want to change the
sort state to one that uses no more than three conditions. In earlier
versions of Excel, users can also sort the data manually.
All sort state information remains available in the workbook, however,
and is applied when the workbook is opened again in Excel 2007, unless
the sort state information is edited in the earlier version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the data that has
been sorted with more than three conditions, and then change the sort
state by using only three or less conditions.

255-character limit cannot be returned.
When formulas in a workbook are linked to other workbooks that are
closed, they can only display up to 255 characters when they are
recalculated in earlier versions of Excel. The formula results may be
truncated.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that contain
formulas that link to other workbooks that are closed so that you can
verify the links and can make the necessary changes to avoid truncated
formula results in earlier versions of Excel.
For more information, see:
Overview of formulas
A Data Validation formula has more than 255 characters.
When Data Validation formulas exceed the 255 character limit that is
supported in earlier versions of Excel, the formula will work
correctly, but it will be truncated and cannot be edited.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that contain
Data Validation formulas, and then use fewer characters in the formula
so that users can edit them in earlier versions of Excel.

Conditional formatting issues

The following conditional formatting issues cause a significant loss
of functionality:

ISSUE SOLUTION
Some cells have more conditional formats than are supported by the
selected file format. Only the first three conditions will be
displayed in earlier versions of Excel.
In Excel 2007, conditional formatting can contain up to sixty-four
conditions, but in earlier versions of Excel, only three conditions
are supported.
In earlier versions of Excel, users will see the first three
conditions only. All conditional formatting rules remain available in
the workbook, however, and are applied when the workbook is opened
again in Excel 2007, unless the rules are edited in the earlier
version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that have
conditional formatting applied that use more than three conditions,
and then make the necessary changes.
For more information, see:
Add, change, or clear conditional formats
Some cells have overlapping conditional formatting ranges. Earlier
versions of Excel will not evaluate all of the conditional formatting
rules on the overlapping cells. The overlapping cells will show
different conditional formatting.
In Excel 2007, conditional formatting ranges in cell can overlap, but
this is not supported in earlier versions of Excel and conditional
formatting is not displayed as expected.
In earlier versions of Excel, users will see different conditional
formatting than expected. All conditional formatting rules remain
available in the workbook, however, and are applied when the workbook
is opened again in Excel 2007, unless the rules are edited in the
earlier version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that have
overlapping conditional formatting ranges, and then make the necessary
changes.
For more information, see:
Add, change, or clear conditional formats
Manage conditional formatting rule precedence
One or more cells in this workbook contain a conditional formatting
type that is not supported in earlier versions of Excel, such as data
bars, color scales, or icon sets.
Excel 2007 provides the following new conditional formatting types
that are not supported in earlier versions of Excel:
Color scales
Data bars
Icon sets
Top or bottom ranked values
Above or below average values
Unique or duplicate values
Table column comparison to determine which cells to format
In earlier versions of Excel, users will not see conditional
formatting, such as data bars, color scales, or icon sets. All
conditional formatting rules remain available in the workbook,
however, and are applied when the workbook is opened again in Excel
2007, unless the rules are edited in the earlier version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that have
conditional formatting types that are new in Excel 2007, and then make
the necessary changes.
For more information, see:
Add, change, or clear conditional formats
Some cells contain conditional formatting with the 'Stop if True'
option cleared. Earlier versions of Excel do not recognize this option
and will stop after the first true condition.
In Excel 2007, you can apply conditional formatting without stopping
when the condition is has been met. This is not supported in earlier
versions of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that contain
conditional formatting with the 'Stop if True' option cleared, and
then click Fix to resolve the compatibility issue.
In earlier versions of Excel, the conditional formatting results will
not be the same as in Excel 2007, because conditional formatting is no
longer applied after the first condition is true. All conditional
formatting rules remain available in the workbook, however, and are
applied when the workbook is opened again in Excel 2007, unless the
rules are edited in the earlier version of Excel.
For more information, see:
Add, change, or clear conditional formats
One or more cells in this workbook contain a conditional formatting
type on a nonadjacent range (such as top/bottom N, top/bottom N%,
above/below average, or above/below standard deviation). This is not
supported in earlier versions of Excel.
In Excel 2007, you can apply conditional formatting to ranges that are
not adjacent. This is not supported in earlier versions of Excel.
In earlier versions of Excel, users will not see conditional
formatting in nonadjacent cells. All conditional formatting rules
remain available in the workbook, however, and are applied when the
workbook is opened again in Excel 2007, unless the rules are edited in
the earlier version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that contain
a conditional formatting type on a nonadjacent range, and then make
the necessary changes.
For more information, see:
Add, change, or clear conditional formats
Some PivotTables in this workbook contain conditional formatting that
may not function correctly in earlier versions of Excel. The
conditional formatting rules will not display the same results when
you use these PivotTables in earlier versions of Excel.
Conditional formatting that is applied to Excel 2007 PivotTables does
not display the same results in PivotTables in earlier versions of
Excel.
In earlier versions of Excel, the conditional formatting results in
the PivotTables will not be the same as in Excel 2007. All conditional
formatting rules remain available in the workbook, however, and are
applied when the workbook is opened again in Excel 2007, unless the
rules are edited in the earlier version of Excel.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate PivotTable fields
that contain conditional formatting rules, and then make the necessary
changes.

Graphics, object, and ActiveX control issues

The following graphics, object, and ActiveX issues cause a significant
loss of functionality:

ISSUE SOLUTION
Any effects on this object will be removed. Any text that overflows
the boundaries of this graphic will appear clipped.
In Excel 2007, you can use special effects, such as transparent
shadows that are not supported in earlier versions of Excel. The
special effects will be removed. Also, in Excel 2007, when you insert
text in a shape that is longer than the shape, the text spills outside
of the boundaries of the shape. In earlier versions of Excel, this
text will be truncated. To avoid truncated text, you can adjust the
size of the shape for a better fit.
In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate the objects that
have special effects applied so that you can remove the special
effects as needed.
For more information, see:
Add or delete a fill or effect in your SmartArt graphic
Resize a shape or an entire SmartArt graphic
An embedded object in this worksheet is created in a newer version of
Office. You cannot edit it in an earlier version of Excel. Embedded
objects that are created in Excel 2007 cannot be edited in earlier
versions of Excel.
Uninitialized ActiveX controls cannot be transferred to the selected
file format. The controls will be lost if you continue.
If a workbook contains ActiveX controls that are considered to be
Unsafe for Initialization (UFI), they are lost when you save the
workbook to an earlier Excel file format. You may want to mark those
controls as Safe for Initialization (SFI).
If you open a workbook with uninitialized ActiveX controls that are
set to high security, you must first use the Message Bar to enable
them before they can be initialized.
For more information, see:
Enable or disable ActiveX controls in Office documents
Enable or disable security alerts on the Message Bar

Customization issues

The following customization issue causes a minor loss of fidelity:

ISSUE SOLUTION
This workbook contains a customized Quick Access Toolbar and/or custom
user interface parts that are not supported in earlier versions of
Excel. These custom features will not be available in earlier versions
of Excel.
Because the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface in Excel 2007 is
very different from the menus and toolbars in earlier versions of
Excel, any customizations that were made in Excel 2007 are not
available in earlier versions of Excel.
In earlier versions of Excel, you can add similar custom commands to
toolbars and menus.

Collaboration issues

The following collaboration issue causes a minor loss of fidelity:

ISSUE SOLUTION
This workbook will be read-only and shared workbook features will not
be available when someone opens it in an earlier version of Excel by
using a file converter. To allow users to continue using the workbook
as a shared workbook in earlier versions of Excel, you must save it in
the file format of the earlier versions.
To keep sharing the shared workbook with users who use earlier
versions of Excel and to ensure that all shared workbook features are
available in the earlier versions, you should save the workbook in the
Excel 97-2003 file format.
For more information, see:
Use Office Excel 2007 with earlier versions of Excel
