9.2 Excel Mobile
Excel Mobile makes it easy for you to open and edit Excel workbooks
and templates created on your PC. You can also can create new
workbooks and templates on your device. To launch Excel Mobile,
tap Start > Programs > Excel Mobile.
Tips:
Work in full-screen mode to see as much of your workbook
as possible.
Tap View > Zoom and select a percentage so that you can
easily read the worksheet.
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!
