Convert the workbook to the current file format When you convert an Excel workbook, it is replaced with a copy of the workbook in the current file format of your choice.
After the workbook is converted, it is no longer available in the original file format. Note The workbook is opened in Compatibility Mode. In Excel , click the Office button. Tip If you do not want to see this message about converting workbooks, select the Do not ask me again about converting workbooks.

When you open a workbook in Excel or later that was created in Excel , some features of the earlier version of Excel are not supported in the workbook. Unsupported features have either been replaced by new features and functionality, or they have been removed because they were rarely used. Tip If features are not available on the ribbon but are still available in Excel, you can still use those features by adding them to the Quick Access Toolbar or the ribbon.
The following Excel features may function differently, have been removed, or are not available on the ribbon. You can use the AutoFormat feature to apply one of several autoformats to quickly format a range of data.
Style galleries for tables, cells, and PivotTables provide a set of professional formats that can be applied quickly. You can choose from many predefined styles or create custom styles as needed. Styles replace AutoFormat as the simplest way to apply formatting to a range of cells. You can also still use the AutoFormat command, but you have to add the command to the Quick Access Toolbar first.
You can create an Excel list to make it easier to manage and analyze groups of related data in a worksheet. Excel lists are now referred to as Excel tables to match this feature in other Microsoft Office programs, such as Word and PowerPoint. You can use an insert row a special row in Excel lists to quickly add a new row of data at the end of a list.
The insert row is no longer available. To add new rows to a table, press TAB, or type, paste the data that you want to include just below a table. You can also insert rows to include additional rows of data.
When you create a table, a defined name for the same range is created at the same time. This name can be used to reference the table in formulas that use the new, structured referencing feature. Names that are used for lists in earlier versions of Excel might not meet the requirements for range names in Excel and later, and therefore cannot be used for referencing the table in formulas that use the new structured referencing feature.
To use table names in structured references, you must change the defined names. Two-way synchronization of Excel tables with SharePoint lists is no longer supported. When you export table data to a SharePoint list, you can only create a one-way connection to the data in the SharePoint list. With a one-way connection to the data in the SharePoint list, changes that are made to the data in the SharePoint list can be incorporated in Excel and later. When you refresh the table data in Excel and later, the latest data from the SharePoint site overwrites the table data on the worksheet, including any changes that you made to the table data.
In Excel and later,, you can no longer update a SharePoint list to include changes that you make to the table data in Excel, after that data has been exported.
To preserve a two-way connection, you have to keep the workbook in Excel file format instead of converting it to the Excel and later file format. For more information about how to replace or work around an unsupported feature, see the following articles:.
Define and use names in formulas. Full row and full column references that are used in a workbook can include data in cells that are located within the row and column limit of Excel Full row and full column references automatically take into account the cells in the larger grid size of Excel and later.
Converting a workbook from an earlier version of Excel to the Excel and later file format can cause problems when full row or column references are used in that workbook, and data that was not meant to be included in the references has been entered in cells that are beyond the row and column limit of the earlier version of Excel.
Specific names that use a combination of letters and numbers such as USA1 , FOO , and MGR4 can be defined and used in formulas in Excel because they do not conflict with cell references. With a new limit of 16, columns, the columns in Excel and later extend to column XFD.
In addition, Excel and later reserves names that start with XL for internal use. When incompatible names are found when you convert a workbook from an earlier version of Excel to the Excel and later file format, you will be alerted about the conflict. External workbook references and functions that take string references such as INDIRECT are not updated — these references and functions must be changed manually.
VBA code that references incompatible names will not work and must be updated. WhatsApp Messenger. Talking Tom Cat.

Most Popular. Why do I still use Word Suite , because why should I use the ribbon menu alien to all other programs be they word processor, graphics etc. Short answer, YES, all parts of work in W home issue. I continue to use Office with a compatibility pack for later versions on my desktop, where the OS is Win 7. I was not able to get to install correctly via the CDs, so got Office The saving grace is that I installed Classic Menu for Office, which provides most of the easier-to-find menus, so rarely have to rummage around the ribbon for anything.
At the time I got it, it was free. Still well worth it. I guess I am fortunate because I have had Office long before Windows 10 came into the picture and so far have not experienced any problems with it. I would just rather pay once and not have to be bothered with it again. I will take a look though at the version on Ebay. If that is the only cost I will consider making that purchase.
Any comments on that? Does anybody know if this requires paying the monthly fee? Please note that Office does have the ribbon interface, if this is a problem.
Also, if the cheap product keys are pirated, they could well be detected before long, leaving the program crippled. The reseller sent me the license keys via email along with a link to download the software from Microsoft.
I followed the link and had to enter the license keys to download two fully legitimate copies of the software.
These resellers buy volume licenses and then resell them individually. All legal and above-board. No piracy. It does all I want, and thanks to Microsoft! Does anyone see any future problems looming…? Unsupported software can put your computer at a higher risk for malware due to unpatched vulnerabilities.
Keeping software up to date is an important layer of security. I too am using Office Professional with all the updates successfully with Windows It provides all my needs. No additional expense of newer Office versions and especially going to the latest Office where you have to pay and pay and pay … continuously to keep using it.
I grew to like Office on my job as a software engineer using all features and tools included, then moved on to Office I acquired a copy for my personal use because it was perfect for what I needed. I have continued using it on my personal computers under XP, Windows 7, 8, and now I have installed it on many computers as they have come into usefulness and as they phased out in favor of later and more capable hardware and operating systems.
I have to commend Microsoft for having created such a useful and reliable tool as Office , which I am currently using on all of my computers under Windows I have never had real problems with it. I have thought about using the latest Office XXX, but there is no incentive. What I have works great, and the alternative is to pay a subscription and then to rely on the cloud for various support.
All that is unnecessary unless I have to share with coworkers and such, or Office stops working altogether. When I make a change to a cell on the second tab, it changes the corresponding cell on tab1 as well as the intended cell on tab2. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this, or whether it is just my setup. Thank you to anyone who responds. What you described an Excel feature. You can find Fill Across Sheets under the Home tab: find the Editing block, and the icon is a down-pointing arrow.
If you prefer Office , you might be a candidate for Libre Office. Sharing a file between 2 machines using Libre Office generally has fewer inconsistencies.
I use Office on Windows 7. Yes, it takes a bit of getting used to. Having pictures besides the labels helps a lot. But for those who refuse to adapt, I do have a solution. Install the older operating system and the older software in the VM and run it from there. I had to do that for a while until a piece of software I use every week got updated to work in Windows 7.
Hi, James B. I find myself having to create macros for all too many things in order to shorten the number of clicks it takes to accomplish what Word did in one click. And the floating toolbars were genius! Why they were eliminated is beyond belief, especially when Microsoft wants you to believe that each new version is better than the last. The complete customizability has never been seen since. I actually keep both office and office on my computer… but I only use if I have the choice. Sorry this didn't help.
Thanks for your feedback. If you only want to view the files try a Viewer. Excel can read Excel files and can save into a format for use with an earlier version of Excel using the Save As command. I have converted many Excel files for use with Excel Can someone please help? This thread is locked.
