How do I resolve "too many different cell formats" error?

S

Seema

I have an old Excel file that has moved several Excel versions. Now, I am
unable to alter the formatting in any cell. I am getting the following error
message - "too many different cell formats".

I have tried removing all formatting, removing the formatting for one cell,
copying the spreadsheet and everything else I could think of but nothing
works.

Please help this is a very important financial spreadsheet.

Thanks
Seema

There is no magic solution. You must 'simplify' the formatting.
