Protection settings. Most worksheet and workbook protection
features are disabled but not removed. However, support
for password protection has been removed. Workbooks that
are password-protected or workbooks in which one or more
worksheets are password-protected cannot be opened. You must
remove the password protection in Excel on the PC and then
synchronize to open the file on the device.
Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet
zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to
the entire workbook.
Worksheet names. Names that reference worksheets within the
same workbook are displayed accurately, but names that refer to
other workbooks, arrays, for example, ={1;2;3;4}, array formulas,
or intersection ranges are removed from the name list. If a
name is removed from the list, it is left in formulas and functions,
causing those formulas to be resolved as “#NAME?” All hidden
names are not hidden.
AutoFilter settings. Are removed. However, you can use the
AutoFilter command in Excel Mobile to perform similar functions.
If you have an AutoFilter applied to a worksheet that causes rows
to be hidden, the rows remain hidden when the file is opened in
Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide command to display the hidden
rows.
Chart formatting. All charts will be saved the way they are
shown in Excel Mobile. Unsupported chart types are changed to
one of these supported types: Column, Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter,
and Area. Background colors, gridlines, data labels, trend lines,
shadows, 3D effects, secondary axes, and logarithmic scales are
turned off.
Worksheet features. The following features are not supported
in Excel Mobile and are removed or modified when a workbook
is opened on the device: hidden sheets are not hidden; VBA
modules, macro sheets, and dialog sheets are removed and
replaced with a place holder sheet; text boxes, drawing objects,
pictures, lists, conditional formats, and controls are removed;
pivot table data is converted to values.
