Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

numbers / xcel

my xcel file is no longer working/ interactive on my newer macbook pro (worked beautifully on my older macbook that is now fried). it was an amoritization/mortgage file and I could add / delete payments and it would calculate my new payoff date. on the new macbook pro, this same file is static. no matter what changes I make, it's not changing any outcomes. (seems the formula is not being applied).

MacBook, macOS 10.13

Hi Leigh,


What version of macOS is running on your newer MCPro? (Apple menu>About this Mac)

What version of MS Excel Mac are you using? (should be in Excel menu>About Excel Version name as well as version number, in this case).


Have you tried opening the Amortization file using Numbers? (Numbers will create a copy of the file and convert that copy to a Numbers document if possible. The original file will not be affected (unless you export the Numbers document to Excel format without making a change to the file name and/or save location.


You could also try opening the file using LibreOffice, an open source application that provides better compatibility with Excel documents than does Numbers.


Regards,

Barry
