Excel question

[ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb]

I haven't used Excel much in the past, but these days I use it sometimes for various tasks. I'm using Excel 2003.

I am generating Excel output from my book project, to transfer data to other places. Here is a screenshot of part of a document generated earlier today:

My question is: what is that little green triangle that is sometimes shown beside a cell (right of C6)?

(Just curious; my life does not depend on it.)

Ah - why not google first...?

Yeah, Google does wonders sometimes. What it has failed to do is explain why a "green" triangle indicates an error. I can see red, yellow, orange - just about any color, but green. Oh well. Some people's kids!

I use the notes/comments [shift+F2] in Excel a lot - that gives a red triangle.

The green one tells me the formula is unlike the neighbouring cells - not that I want to know that - it can be annoying.

For example if I add part of the column to get a s/total, then cross cast a row into that column it shows up Green coz it's different to the neighbours. Yeah I know it is !

It indicates a formula inconsistency with the surrounding cells. :)

You click on it, maybe there is another data shows

Thank you all; yes, it's just a warning, as D4\/!d and Irene said.

there is a question regarding your thread.

have you added any formula?

if yes, then if you are trying copy the values or data then there will definitely be some error.

this green triangle means that you can add any comment in that particular cell
