Question

I have a dual-boot laptop and desktop, each w/Office 2010 on Windows 7 and Office 2013 in Windows 8.1 .

On both computers, in Excel 2013 [win 8.1], when I make any changes to a file dialog box with "Calculation ..." as outlined in the title of this msg appears.

If I click Yes, the box just reappears with every click.

If I click No, nothing happens and the file is not saved.

Nothing else can be done, and I need to exit the file without saving.

This occurs *after* making numerous changes to sophisticated files, so has become a major problem.

The workaround on both computers -- use the same files in Office 2010 in Windows 7, and the issue does not occur. Ever.

Currently Office 2013 is not usable due to this issue.

Please advise as to the problem, and especially the solution.

Thank you,

Explanation / Answer

I have Excel 2007, 2010 and 2013 running on my same box.

I have 6000+ excel files that have evolved templates over the past decade.

This problem only happens to me when I open files that have the latest version of my conditional formatting template in Excel 2013. If I open the same file in 2010 I have no problems.

It is a huge PITA and I will not roll out Excel 2013 to the company until it is fixed. If I had the time I would disable the conditional formatting formulas's one by one to try to figure out the problem. Unfortunately I do not have the time. I will haappily send the template to Microsoft and let someone in India or the Philippines figure out thouggh.
