Program DescriptionDavid Ringstrom
Excel spreadsheet users often are stopped in their tracks by error prompts they receive while performing seemingly simple actions. In this illuminating webcast, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, delves into the intricacies of Excel to explain why error prompts are frequently encountered.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He’ll draw to your attention any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
Following are just a few of the issues David discusses that can help you resolve error prompts, including how to:
- Bring Excel’s green error-checking prompts under control.
- Manage macro security prompts.
- Diagnose formula errors.
- Remove certain add-ins that can compromise Excel.
- Track down the ripple effect of errors in Excel spreadsheets.
- Count the number of # sign errors in a worksheet.
- After participating in David’s presentation, you’ll know what actions to take when Excel appears to go awry.
- Avoiding wasting time when saving workbooks as .XLS files by dispatching the Compatibility Checker.
- Bringing Excel’s green error-checking prompts under control by managing the underlying rules.

- Getting a rundown on what the various # sign errors in Excel mean.
- Improving the odds of Excel creating a backup copy of your work so you can recover easily from program crashes.
- Learning how range names can minimize errors, save time in Excel, serve as navigation aids, and store information in hidden locations.
- Learning the risks of linked workbooks, determining if a workbook contains links, and seeing how links can hide within Excel features.
- Learning what steps to take if you can’t open a damaged workbook.
- Learning why Excel is opposed to circular references.

- Using Excel’s Filter feature to quickly scan a column for # sign errors.
- Using Excel’s Go To Special command to easily select form controls you wish to remove en masse.
- Using the SUMPRODUCT function to count the number of # sign errors in a worksheet.
