Unsupported features in Excel Mobile
Excel Mobile does not fully support some features such as formulas and cell comments.
Some data and formatting may be lost when you save the workbook on your device. Note
the following Excel Mobile formatting considerations:
•
Alignment. Horizontal, vertical, and wrap-text attributes remain the same, but vertical
text appears horizontal.
•
Borders. Appear as a single line.
•
Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells are removed.
•
Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by your device are mapped to the closest
font available. The original font is listed on your device. When the workbook is opened
in Excel on your PC again, the data is displayed in the original font.
•
Number formats. Numbers formatted using the Microsoft Excel 97 conditional
formatting feature are displayed in Number format.
•
Formulas and functions. If an Excel file 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!
•
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 synchronize to open the file on the device.
