What are the primary differences between Excel 2003 and 2007?

And is it essentially an identical program on a Macintosh?

Hi Edward

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

The biggest difference between Excel 2003 and 2007 is the interface. The menu bar and toolbars in 2003 have been replaced with other elements, the Office button, Quick Access toolbar and Ribbon.

There are some additions and changes to features, e.g. you can preview formatting changes before you actually select them; the facility for creating charts has been improved; there is a table feature which is useful for sorting and filtering data; and conditional formatting has been changed.

If you were using Excel on a Macintosh, the functionality of Excel is exactly the same, i.e. will have the same features as Excel on a Windows/PC platform.

Apparently the 2004 version for Mac is most similar to the 2003 version; and the 2008 version for Mac is most similar to the 2007 version.

You can have a look at the 2007 version, using a simulated online version at

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Calculate age or service

The DATEDIF() function in Excel calculates the number of days, months, or years between two dates. So, this function makes it easy to calculate a person's age. To try this tip:

In a blank worksheet, type the birth date in cell A1, using slashes to separate day, month, and year.
In cell A2, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") and press ENTER.
