Cell labelled with my initials
I use Excel spreadsheets for scheduling for my business. Occasionally and randomly a cell will be labelled with a solid blue circle containing my initials in white. I don't know why this happens an...
I think what you are seeing is the excel sharing feature to let you know who and where someone else is looking in that workbook. The problem is sometimes excel gets 'confused' and doesn't realize you and you are the same person. Basically it had an open socket to a connection you have/had and presently you are using a new/different socket connection. This could happen because you are on a different computer, browser, or maybe your computer switch from wired to wireless or who knows. If you are logged in elsewhere then closing that other connection can "fix" it or it will just resolve itself.

I appreciate the detailed response. However, this never seems to clear. The blue outline around the box and my initials in the blue circle become a permanent feature of the spreadsheet and I cannot figure out how to make them go away. It's annoying.
