Questions tagged [excel-2003]

The Excel-2003 tag is used for referencing the Excel Version 2003 spreadsheet application from Microsoft. The version independent Tag is "excel". If your question is about VBA then also tag it VBA.

This tag is used for questions specific to the 2003 version of the program. However, it is usually used in tandem with other tags, to let SO users know what your question is about. If your question is about VBA then also tag it . If it is about an Excel formula, tag it or . Questions about addins for Excel 2003 should be tagged .
