Default Forced to save - even if no changes

I have one file that when I close it, it always asks me if I want to save
changes, even if I didn't even breathe while it was open. What gives?

One reason is that your file probably contains volatile functions, eg: OFFSET

If the workbook you opened was created in an earlier version of Excel you will
get the "save changes" message.

Save as your current version.

You will also get the message if you have used any volatile function(s) in your
workbook.

Could be a NOW() or TODAY()

List of volatile functions........

AREAS()
OFFSET()
CELL()
INDIRECT()
NOW()
TODAY()
RAND()

Any one or more of these would cause the workbook changes.
