Hi, All...

I'm running Office2016. When opening and closing a file that was saved in an earlier version of Excel (Office2007), I get a message of:

Do you want to save the changes to 'File Name.xls'? Microsoft Excel recalculates formulas when opening files last saved by an earlier version of Excel.

Is there a way to turn off this feature, so it won't generate this message? I'm opening hundreds of files for a project and closing them without making any changes - having to click "Don't Save" each time is killing me...

Hoping someone can come to my rescue and save my clicking sanity...

Thanks,
~ZM~

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
