How do I eliminate the green triangle throughout my spreadsheet?
When I get my data into an Excel format from another program, a green
triangle in the upper left corner of most cells appears. The green triangles seem to prohibit me from using the numbers in some of the calcuations I do. I know there is a simply process of eliminating the green triangles without having to do this column by column using the "Text to Columns" feature and I would like to know this simple process. |

Hi Patrick,
Go to Tools - Options - Error Checking - Settings. If "Enable background error checking" is checked, uncheck it.
