v Formulas and functions: If an Excel file contains a function that is not supported by Excel Mobile, the function is removed, and only the returned value of the function appears. The following formulas are also converted to values: formulas entered as an array or containing an array argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4}); formulas containing external link references or an intersection range reference; and formulas containing references past row 16384 are replaced with #REF!
v 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.
v Zoom settings: Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to the entire workbook.
v Worksheet names: Names that reference worksheets within the same workbook are displayed accurately, but names that refer to other workbooks, arrays (e.g., ={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.
v 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.
v Chart formatting: All charts are saved the way they are shown in Excel Mobile. Unsupported chart types are changed to one of the following supported types: Column, Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter, or Area. Background colors, gridlines, data labels, trend lines, shadows, 3D effects, secondary axes, and logarithmic scales are turned off.
v 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 placeholder sheets; text boxes, drawing objects, pictures, lists, conditional formats, and controls are removed; pivot table data is converted into values.
