'Too Many Different Cell Formats' - Error Message

[Ken T.]

I get this message when just trying to bold a number in my Forecast Model at
work. Have anybody seen this before? If so, how did you resolve it.

I am currently using Excel 2003 and the file is only 7.1MB.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

hi
xl2003 allows only 4,000 different combinations of cell formats. xl2007 has
uped this to 64000 (presumably due to the larger sheets). since this is a
ceiling, there is no real fix except don't exceed the limit. see this site
for more details and possible fixes.
