    Excel Error alert

    When I bring up a spreadsheet containing cell issues such as a column of numbers stored as text, there's a little icon of a ! symbol in a yellow triangle. It alerts me of a potential error. In addition to the icon, the cell itself contains a little green carrot located in the top left corner.

    When my co-worker brings up the same spreadsheet, they do not see the ! yellow triangle, nor the little green carrot.

    Is there a default setting that needs to occur for these type of alerts to show up?
    Thank you

    File/Options/Error checking and ensure background error checking is enabled (checked).

    You're welcome.

    Aslo... Please take a moment to update your profile, as I don't thingk that you're still uisng Excel 2003.


    It would be very nice if you were to just click the Add Reputation button at the foot of any of the posts of members who helped you reach a solution.

    Finally, if that takes care of your original question, please select "Thread Tools" from the menu link (just above the first post in the thread) and mark this thread as SOLVED.
