Two many different cell formats
Here is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article about that:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;213904 This happens in large spreadsheets that are format-intensive. Excel can keep track of about 4000 different combinations of formats; beyond that you get the error message. I have corrected this in large workbooks by deleting unused sheets and by going to infrequently used (but mission critical) tabs within the sheet and setting them to a neutral format: no font color, no background color, no left/center/right alignment, no patterns, no boxes. |
