• 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.
• Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet
zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to
the entire workbook.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
