Tracking

Please advise how to track changes in a spreadsheet

RE: Tracking

Hi Lamorna, Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Share Workbook, and then click the Editing tab.
2. Select the Allow changes by more than one user at the same time check box.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
Under Track changes, click Keep change history for, and in the Days box, type the number of days of change history that you want to keep. (Be sure to enter a large-enough number of days because Excel permanently erases any change history older than this number of days.)
4. Click OK, and if you are prompted to save the file, click OK.
Note: Turning on change tracking also shares the workbook.
I hope that has helped, if so please click the Resolved link.
Best regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
