moderated JAWS And Excel Floating Menus

Hi All
Hope everyone had a great Easter break. One for people who work with Excel tables. After you've formatted data into a table i.e. pressed Ctrl+T to create a table, I'm having issues with JAWS not reading contents for cells where Excel displays an icon next to the cell indicating a possible formula error. Example 1 – (Icon appears on the right hand side of the cell). Undo Calculated Column C
Example 2 (Icon appears on the left hand side of the cell) Action: On Object Control
When these icons appear, JAWS will no longer read the contents of the cell. Has anyone else experienced this and/or have a solution.

Van Lant, Robin
Mark, I use data tables. I havent’ noticed the issue you are describing yet, but my tables at present are pretty simple and I’m still on a version behind you: Subscription Version 16.0.13801.21214. I’ll see if my company is offering the update yet.
I just created a simple table and entered a formula with a circular reference. JAWS announced the error as I move to that cell, but I do not see any floating menu next to the cell. Could I have something turned off that you have on? I started to look in Options to see if anything is obvious. I’ll keep looking around to see if I can replicate the issue you are dealing with.
Also happy just to know another JAWS user using data tables. My new manager thrives on them and I totally see the value, so am working to make them my default way of working in Excel, but I have a couple challenges with keyboard commands that I invoke that accidentally crash or freeze Excel when running JAWS. That’s a topic for another day. Mainly wanted to acknowledge your email and open a partnership to figure this out. I’ll see if my manager can help me replicate the floating menus you referenced.

Hi Robin
Data tables are great and very flexible. I use them all the time. Don't have this issue on my work lap top so trying to work out what's different. Also trawling through the Excel options to see if I can turn them off otherwise might have to revert to sending a file to the Vispero help desk. Thanks for acknowledging. -- Mark Fisher Manager - People Systems Water Corporation
