Errors were detected while saving file in Excel 2010

Anonymous

I get the error "Errors were detected while saving 'C:\Users\Filename.xlsx. To make repairs in a new file, click continue. To cancel saving the file, click cancel" The appears to be no pattern to this. Does any have a solution. All similar questions in the forum don't offer a solution to this error message.

I have had this issue recently and it turned out to be a company logo which was in the top right of each worksheet.I removed this (.png) image from each sheet, the workbook did not then give an error saving. I then opened the logo and re-saved it as a .jpg and then re-added it to each sheet. The workbook continued to save quite happily.

Hope this helps

I think the easiest way is to downgrade to Excel 2007, it's more stable.

In Excel 2010 sometimes, when there are no logo/pics, I have to move sheet by sheet to another workbook to try to find out each sheet got problems.

So I found out the spreadsheet the user was having this issue with was actually an export from a website. Said website exported it with a couple web graphics embedded (but hidden) and deleting the objects fixed the issue!
