Hi
I am experimenting Track changes option. I noticed that If I highlight cells and change the color (background color), Excel would not consider that as a change. Why is that? Thanks

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
As far as I'm aware, changing the background colour (and/or font colour) isn't meant to be recorded by the Track Changes functionality. It's one of the things that are unsupported / not covered by "Track Changes".
