SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you save a shared file, you may receive the
following message:
Save resulted in some changes from other users
When you choose OK, the file you are editing may not display any changes.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when another person adds a formula to a shared file
and saves the file while you are editing the same file. For example, if
another person opens the shared file you currently have open, adds the
formula =SUM(A1:A4) to cell A5 on the worksheet that you are editing, and
then saves the file, you receive the message described above when you save
the file; note, however, that the change to cell A5 does not appear on the
worksheet that you are editing.
This behavior occurs because although formulas are not saved in shared
workbooks, Microsoft Excel determines that another person made a change
to the file and informs you of this change, even though the change is not
saved. Note that this behavior does not affect the functionality of the
shared file. However, it may be confusing if you notice that no changes
appear in the file after you receive this message.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
