When saving a specific XCEL file with .xls extension, this error message appears: "A formula in a cell (Name:Z_BE878050_08A5_49CE_80D1_A8130) could not be converted because it contains a function that is not available in the file formate to which you are saving."
Can anyone interpret the cell name format? Perhaps if I could find the cell, I could solve this annoying problem.

Hi Fred -

I really have no idea what the reference is supposed to mean, but perhaps it
would help locate the problem if you run the Compatibility Checker: Wrench
icon in the Toolbox Palette or go to View> Compatibility Report.

Another possibility: Use Edit> Go To, click the Special button & select
Formulas, then clear all the checks except Errors.
