Unsupported Features in Excel Mobile

Excel Mobile does not fully support some features such as formulas

and cell comments. Some data and formatting may be lost when

you save the workbook on your device. Note the following Excel

Mobile formatting considerations:

Alignment. Horizontal, vertical, and wrap-text attributes

remain the same, but vertical text appears horizontal.

Borders. Appear as a single line.

Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells are removed.

Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by your device are

mapped to the closest font available. The original font is listed

on your device. When the workbook is opened in Excel on your

PC again, the data is displayed in the original font.

Number formats. Numbers formatted using the Microsoft

Excel 97 conditional formatting feature are displayed in

Number format.

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!
