Question posted 2011 · +10 upvotes
I have an Excel sheet which is generated by opening the result from some query based on TFS work items.
I’m using this Excel for my personal planning, but whenever I close the Sheet, it asks me if I want to publish my changes to TFS.
I want it to completely forget that it is derived from TFS, because I fear that some day I may publish my changes unintentionally.
I have tried saving the Excel Document in the oldest possible Excel format, but that doesn’t help.

This is much easier than the other solutions on offer:
- Click on a cell in the table
- Open the Table Design tab on the ribbon
- Click “Convert table to range”
- Save the workbook
Done!
Disclaimer: I’ve only tried it with TFS 2012 & Office 2010.
