Hi
From time to time I see some black triangles in the top left hand corner of
cells(They look like the COMMENT marker- but the COMMENT markers are RED and
in the top right hand of the cell.

Is this Bad?
Thanks
 
You are working with a shared workbook, presumably with a group of people.
If you are not working with a group of people and don't know what this is you
probably want to turn the option off.

Excel has a facility to record changes to individual cells and places a black triangular mark in the upper left corner, similar to
cell comments which uses a red triangle. If you changed content and had a cell comment, you will see both when you hover over the
cell to see cell comments. (below)
