The green corner indicates that there is something Excel considers a  
potential problem based on adjacent cells. You can reproduce it  
easily: Populate 3 columns with numbers and sum each column. Then,  
"accidentally" alter the formula of _one_ of the sum cells from (for  
example) =SUM(B1:B20) to =SUM(B1:B19). Since the formula differs from  
the adjacent ones, you'll get the "green corner."

You want to come to one of *my* Excel classes? <g,d&r>
