Wrong background colours in Excel (Office 365)
- Hello,
I can see that the workbook is saved as "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls).
Kindly re-save as Excel Workbook (*xlsx).
With regardless to the font and fill colour, I applied font and fill colors to many of the cells and they all formula without any issue. See the attached pictures and the new workbook...
Looking forward to hear from you
See the attached sample file.
I even tried a complete repair of my 365 installation.
All programs have been downloaded again, but there's still something wrong.

Thanks for all effort.
After my last post I found another major problem; when I tried to open the properties of a cell (right click) Excel crashed (!).
This problem AND the colour problem have been solved bij removing the complete Office 365 installation, including all related Microsoft programs and making a totally clean install (so not using the Microsoft repair function which I used before - which seemed to make a clean install).
I presume during the last (minor) Office 365 update something had been corrupted, causing both problems.
So all is working OK right now!
Again, thanks for all your trouble!
