I was reviewing an existing report of mine and found it had lots of those triangles. I just got rid of them by refactoring the formulae. –PowerUser Jan 21 '11 at 16:55 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted I think this is what you're looking for: Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.BackgroundChecking = False share|improve this answer answered Jan 21 '11 at 2:35 Marc Thibault 8051710 Worked for me.

application, I'll usually want to flip off background error checking vba error handling - that is, I'll tell Excel to stop showing those little green triangles that appear in cells. vba error handling best practices Don't get me wrong, those little green alerts can be useful - but they are rarely so in a finished product where I know my layout http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4754108/turn-off-excel-background-error-checking-on-opening-the-workbook and formulas are correct. I just want to tell Excel, "thanks for the help, but stop annoying me already!" Indeed, these green alerts appeared on other computer screens when users opened my Periodic Table of elements file, which I found annoying. The problem is that while I can tell those green triangles to go http://optionexplicitvba.blogspot.com/2012/07/turn-off-cell-background-error-checking.html away on my instance Excel by going into Excel Options(or simply by clicking "ignore"), that won't fix the problem when my file is loaded onto other computers. The way around this is some VBA and the workbook open and close events. So, in my ThisWorkbook object in the VBA window, I wrote this: Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.BackgroundChecking = False End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.BackgroundChecking = True End Sub There are actually several types of background error checking that go on in a workbook. Excel allows you to disable theseseparateerror checks by themselves if don't want to disable everything. Specifically, you can modify background checking options for empty cell references, error calculations, inconsistent formulas, andomittedcells, among others. For example, you might simply write: Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.OmittedCells = False if you only want Excel to stop monitoring for formula patterns that appear to omit cells that Excel thinks should be included

By Susan Harkins | April 14, 2014, 9:09 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus February was a busy mail month, but the solutions were relatively simple. I helped readers disable Excel's error-checking, print multiple Excel modules, and insert tabs after every character in a Word document. None of these solutions requires a downloadable demo file. Let's take a look at each one in detail.Disable error-checking in Excel Rocky doesn't like the green triangles that Excel displays when he enters a formula that Excel thinks might be in error. For instance, an inconsistent formula will trigger this feature. In Figure A, D5 contains a simple addition formula, while the cells above and below contain a MAX() function. Excel sees this as a possible error — and in most cases, it would be. For this reason, Excel's error-checking is a helpful feature that I recommend leaving enabled. Figure A Excel identifies possible errors. This feature offers several options, which you can display by clicking the accompanying option button. The options will be relevant to the error. In the case of an inconsistent formula ( Figure B), you can copy the formula from above with a simple click — or you can ignore the error. There are several options, but you'll usually fix or ignore the error. Figure B Excel options for an inconsistent formula.
