Are 2013 New Features compatible with 2010?

[Cloudy77]

Hi,

I was wondering how 2013 new features are processed in 2010 version? My concern is that my colleagues using 2010 may not be able to view/use spreadsheets created in 2013 as intended.

In particular, how 2010 deals with 2013 new functions like IFNA, or the connected table slicers (i.e. if you pick one value in "region" slicer the "sales agent" slicer automatically shows the agents who are linked to the selected region)

Any feedbacks would be appreciated.

My understanding is that the workbook will open in older versions of Excel but, obviously, new features will not be available. While that might work gracefully in some cases, it would be catastrophic in others (e.g., a new function).
