Default Why does Excel ask to Save on Exit?

Is this true for a date function in the footer of the document as well?
Thanks.

I am no expert but I think it applies to any time you have the date or time
set to automatically adjust. IE: =TODAY() OR=NOW()

When I close a couple of excel files it always asks me wheterh I want to
save, even if I have made no changes to the file (i.e. just viewed it).
Other files just close without the prompt. Is there a way to control
how/whether Excel asks you? Thx.


It could be that date and time are displayed on worksheet. From the time you
open till the time you close the worksheet the time has changed therefore the
save question. Therefore no need to save.
