In October 2024, Microsoft released an update that can make all cells in BudgetLink and Excel have '''strikethrough'''.
In October 2024, Microsoft released a '''Format Stale Values''' feature for Excel that impacts BudgetLink, rendering the text in the cells with a '''strikethrough'''.


The purpose of this update was to highlight cells that need to be recalculated when manual calculation is enabled. This is known as '''stale values'''. However, this setting has the side effect of putting '''strikethrough''' through '''all''' cells in BudgetLink. This is because BudgetLink is designed with formulas with dynamic values; where the contents of the formulas change based on external factors (the get data process).
