How can I remove the VS warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'SPREADSHEET' when no variable is declared

Question

This warning is triggered multiple times in my code by the same declaration, which reads :

// Spreadsheet structure
typedef struct SPREADSHEET
{    
      int ID         


        

Answer 1

My interpretation of this warning is that the compiler is indicating that the typedef keyword is unnecessary because a variable is not being declared. and therefore if the intention of the code is to simply declare a struct the typedef is superfluous.
