Hello,

I noticed several unusual formulas appearing in Excel. They appeared to be written in a foregin language, so I put them into Google Translate and determined that they are written in Finnish.

Here are a few that are popping up:

=RatkaisinLataa(
=RatkaisinLisää(
=RatkaisinLopeta(

Ratkaisin translates to "Solver" in English.

How do I remove these from my computer? How can I see what these formulas are doing?

Thank you in advance for the help!

What add-ins do you have installed?

Nope. Gone. I suppose I should have put that together! I even translated the formulas into "Solver".

Thanks for the help!
