Default Excel 97 formula doesn't work in Excel 2003

QuarterNum is not a function built into Excel. I'd guess it is found in an
add-in you were using with Excel 97. If you still have Excel 97 you might
find it listed under Tools, Add-ins. You can probably use this add-in with
Excel 2003 if it is still around. Again, use Tools, Add-ins to 'attach' it
to Excel 2003.

|I recently switched from Excel 97 to Excel 2003.
|
| When I open one of my spreadsheets created with Excel 97, all the the
| cells in columns B display #NAME?. There is also a green triangle in
| the upper left corner of each cell.
|
| The formula in each of the cells of column B is a variation on
| =QuarterNum(D642). This appears in cell B642. Column D has dates in
| it, and column B has quarter numbers. The formula in cell B642 is
| supposed to compute the quarter number based on the date in cell D642.
|
| This works when I open the file with Excel 97.
|
| How may I fix the file so it will work in Excel 2003?
