EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
Like all software products, Excel has gone through multiple versions with varying degrees of usefulness. Below are two of the largest issues that can quickly wreck your Excel experience. The takeaway is that if you are doing high function math with Excel, only use the 2010 version.
1. Vanishing Macro Coding
From our earlier discussion of macros, we learned that it is possible to write out sets of instructions that are repeated often so you only have to push one button. Excel has had issues with making this time-saving tool work, especially in the 2007 version. According to NotebookReview.com, “The macro recording errors that plagued Excel 2007 have been repaired...(In the old version, including shapes or charts in your macro recording would leave the final file with huge function gaps or worse, leave a blank recording altogether.)” Definitely use Excel 2010 for a macro-heavy Excel use.
