Excel has a bug. I found it. Does Microsoft care?

Apparently not. There is no obvious way to do so.

Perhaps their software is perfect and the rest of us mortals merely
unappreciative.

I have "autosave" set to back up my work every 10 minutes.

After working for 4 hours, I tried to creat a graph from a pivot table. It
was automatically created as a bar, and I wanted a pie.

I clicked in the upper right corner, and $600 of work disappeared. Unlike
any other worksheet, no safety net "Do you want to save?"

Nothing in the autosave directory, either. ????

Hi Malcolm,

I agree, getting Microsoft staff to notice something you have to say is not
the easiest thing in the world. Swing over to
one of these web pages:

http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactbug (tells you to call
1-800-MICROSOFT)
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support (gives you quite a bit
of info - I would go here)
