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!
v
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.
v
Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile
zoom setting is applied to the entire workbook.
v
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.
v
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 file is opened in Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide command to display the hidden rows.
v
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.
v
Worksheet features. The following features are not supported in Excel Mobile and are removed or
modified when a workbook is opened on the device: hidden sheets are not hidden; VBA modules,
macro sheets, and dialog sheets are removed and replaced with a place holder sheet; text boxes,
drawing objects, pictures, lists, conditional formats, and controls are removed; pivot table data is
converted to values.
