Microsoft Excel 2007 or later workbooks can be saved in several file formats that are significantly different from those for previous versions of Microsoft Excel.
Note: | Be sure Crystal Ball is loaded before opening a workbook with extension .xls that contains Crystal Ball data or before saving a model to any format in Microsoft Excel 2007 or later. |
For detailed information, see the migration appendix in the Oracle Crystal Ball Installation and Licensing Guide.
Files from earlier versions of Crystal Ball — including the Crystal Ball Example files — are converted automatically when you save them in the current version of Crystal Ball on Microsoft Excel 2007 or later. Files from earlier versions are opened in compatibility mode. [Compatibility Mode] is displayed after the workbook name in the title bar.
Note: | If you open the Example files in Windows Vista, they are read-only. To edit or customize them, save them under another name before you run a simulation. |
