    I received a excel spreadsheet, when I open the spreadsheet it's empty

    Hi all,

    I am using Excel for Mac 2011. I received an email with a couple of spreadsheets from a wholesaler. When I open them they are empty, all I can see is colors and the lines no text. If I look at it in my quick look on my email I can see all the words. How can I see them? I don't know if the problem is I'm using excel for Mac and they are using a windows excel. Would like some help with this.

    Thank you

    Almost impossible to say what's causing it without having sight of the file itself..

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Highlight a small range and set the font to black and the background to white. If this fixes it for that range, do it for the whole sheet
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thank you guys

    It turns out my font was not windows office compatible. All I had to do was change the font to something that was compatible.

    Thanks
