Track Changes in Excel disappearing and/or not showing after saving
Hello, I have followed the instructions provided online for using Track Changes (Legacy) in excel; however, no matter how many times I try to change a cell and track it and make sure the highlight ch...
I'm having the same issue. Upon returning to a workbook wherein I was tracking changes, none of them are showing up. There was a substantial number of changes that I will now have to address manually, unless someone has a fix. "When" is set to All, "Who" is set to Everyone.
It was working when I saved the document a few days ago.
I'm seeing evidence here and other sites that I'm not the only one facing this. I'm curious whether this a known issue in Excel, and, if so, whether a fix is pending.

oddly enough I just tested this and opened the workbook to see my changes not highlighted even though I had time=all and who=everyone but THEN I unselected both hit OK and saw the changes highlighted again.
that said, you might want to try the NEW track changes feature offered in 365/sharepoint

- So there is some sort of odd behavior at work. How turning off the ability to see changes for all time and from everyone somehow enables that same capability is puzzling. In any case, I could not get that to work for me. Thankfully I have a list of all the changes, so I can reconstruct that aspect of the document. Tedious, but not like I have to start from scratch. So far as 365/SharePoint is concerned, I'm unfamiliar with it. To my knowledge, it's not currently in use at my company.
But the question remains, is this a known issue with MS Excel? If it is, then we can relax and wait for the fix. Keeping clients in the dark serves no purpose.
