b Formulas and functions. If an Excel fi le
contains a function that is not supported
by Excel Mobile, the function is removed,
and only the returned value of the
function appears. The following formulas
are also converted to values: formulas
entered as an array or containing an array
argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4});
formulas containing external link
references or an intersection range
reference; and formulas containing
references past row 16384 are replaced
with #REF!
b Protection settings. Most worksheet and
workbook protection features are disabled
but not removed. However, support for
password protection has been removed.
Workbooks that are password-protected
or workbooks in which one or more
worksheets are password-protected
cannot be opened. You must remove the
password protection in Excel on the PC
and then synchronise to open the fi le on
the device.
b Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel
supports a per worksheet zoom setting,
while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is
applied to the entire workbook.
b Worksheet names. Names that reference
worksheets within the same workbook are
displayed accurately, but names that refer
to other workbooks, arrays, for example,
={1;2;3;4}, array formulas, or intersection
ranges are removed from the name list. If
a name is removed from the list, it is left
in formulas and functions, causing those
formulas to be resolved as “#NAME?”. All
hidden names are not hidden.
b AutoFilter settings. Are removed. However,
you can use the AutoFilter command in
Excel Mobile to perform similar functions.
If you have an AutoFilter applied to a
worksheet that causes rows to be hidden,
the rows remain hidden when the fi le is
opened in Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide
command to display the hidden rows.
b Chart formatting. All charts will be
saved the way they are shown in Excel
Mobile. Unsupported chart types are
changed to one of these supported types:
Column, Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter, and
Area. Background colors, gridlines, data
labels, trend lines, shadows, 3D effects,
secondary axes, and logarithmic scales
are turned off.
b Worksheet features. The following
features are not supported in Excel Mobile
and are removed or modifi ed when a
workbook is opened on the device: hidden
sheets are not hidden; VBA modules,
