The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Excel - Formula Error on Save only

Asked by ryanstarret in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: getpivotdata, error, excel, formula, save

Hi there,

I have the following formula in 168 cells (the $B9 can change depending on the cell).  It apparently works and returns the data it is supposed to correctly.

=IF(ISERROR(GETPIVOTDATA(PT!$B$3,$B9 & " 'Grand Total'")),"",GETPIVOTDATA(PT!$B$3,$B9 & " 'Grand Total'"))

The problem comes why I try to save my workbook.  I get the following error:

"A formula in cell (Name:[Refinery F-Tag Tracking System.xls]Summary!REFCELL) Could not be converted because it contains a function that is not available in the file format to which you are saving.  If you continue the save, the formula and result will be saved, but the function itself will be converted to an error value.

Do you want to see additional errors as they occur so you can fix them later?

-To see each erro as it occurs, click Yes.
-To get only a count of the number of errors when Microsoft Office Excel is finished saving, click No.
-To Cancel the save, click Cancel.

Continue reporting each error?"

I get 168 errors... all my formulas work apparently, including my pivot tables and sorting macros.  I haven't found anything that doesnt work.

My question is: What the crap?  Oh... and how do I fix this?

I only get REFCELL on the very first error, the rest of them all throw a cell number.  Absolutely everything is working however.  

I initially created this workbook in Excel 97, but within the last week I have upgraded to excel 2003, although I cant see what problems that would cause in this case, especially since everything is working.

Thanks!!

Ryan
