Save offline copy in excel addin

We have files that utitlize vlookups or sumif formulas  when we save an offline copy the formulas do not work after. I have found many times that if I change the value I am referring to in the formula to a text format, it saves them, but sometimes it is not always the case. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the work around?

    Hi cindy: two things to check, the OneStream setting that controls whether data in QuickViews is retained and then standard Excel automatic calculation setting.

    OneStream Setting:

    OneStream (ribbon) > Preferences > General > Invalidate Old Data When Workbook is Opened > Set to 'False'

    Excel Setting:

    File > Options > Formulas > Calculation Options > Workbook Calculation > Set to 'Automatic'

    Hopefully one of those fixes your issue.  Let us know.
