File asks me to save when I haven't changed a thing

Why do some files ask me to save the changes I made when closing them,
when I haven't made any changes whatsoever?

Do you have any formulas in your workbook like NOW(), TODAY(), INDIRECT,
OFFSET etc.?

Those functions recalculate when excel recalculates. So the workbook changes
from its original state. That's why you get the prompt.

I've also found that if you open a workbook and look at a filter
pull-down list (without selecting any values) then close the workbook
then Excel will think that you have changed something so it will ask if
you want to save.
