Excel 2007 labels in formulas no longer supported!
Unbelievable! What BoneHead would fix a wiring problem by axing the wire?
Labels have been a tool for proper programming since they technically, thankfully could be supported. If some users do not want the benefit, then make use of labels an option. More elegantly, Microsoft, fix the code adapting to mis-use of labels in formulas by offering more graceful options for users to continue the pursuit with Excel. Having built a complete and reliable Accounting System depending on properly labeled cell references in formulas (for audit and debug), i am asked as i open a 2003 file in the "NEW" 2007, TO SCRAP MY INVESTMENT IN PROPER SPREADSHEET PROGRAMMING, OR NOT USE THE PRODUCT! UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i must face the challenge of uninstalling Excel 2007 and re-installing the more capable Excel 2003. This tryanny will be addressed. I encourage your support and efforts to establish an Act of Congress for Regulation of Software Civility. GOD save Earth! |

Excel 2007 labels in formulas no longer supported!
Couldn't you have first tested 2007 on a dummy machine? Couldn't you have
read the lists of deprecated features in addition to the hooplah about wonderful new features? There have been so many posts in the forums from people having difficulties with 2007, that if I hadn't been involved in the beta, I would never have installed it without giving it a full test on all of my important workbooks. My understanding of the deprecation of the Labels in Formulas feature is that people were either using it wrong and it produced errors, or they were not trying to use it but it somehow implemented itself in some formulas. I don't know how. I always avoided the feature, because it was too implicit for my taste. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "forAbetterWorld" wrote in message ...
