Blocked Content
I have an excel .xls workbook that was working fine until recently, Now when I open the workbook I am getting a message stating the file has BLOCKED CONTENT. I have adjusted the Security Settings in the Trust Centre to no avail.
Is there a way to identify what is actually blocked in order that I can amend or remove the offending item? Is there a utility to audit a workbook?
Any help that could be offered by the group would be greatly appreciated.

I recommend: Always inform about your Excel version (365 ?), operating system, storage medium/hard drive, OneDrive, Sharepoint, etc.), is this file shared with other users?.
If possible, add a file (without sensitive data) and use this file to describe your project step by step, or add photos with the appropriate description.
Don't forget that not every Excel user has a clue about every job and what you see he can't see.
