I have a link to an Excel file that opens in Excel Online. When opening it, some users are getting prompted to open the file in Excel 2016 and some users are getting prompted to open with 'Url:Excel Protocol. Due to network restrictions, all users who are prompted to open with 'Url:Excel Protocol' are not able to open the document. I need everyone to be prompted to open in Excel 2016. Any way to make this consistent for all users? I appreciate any ideas! Thanks!
Here is how my link is formatted: /sites/TEAMSite/TEST%20Documents/TEST_742/FY18%20TEST%20Doc%20TEST%20Rev2.xlsm?Web=1

I have made a user's form using VBA excel code. Its working fine on my laptop however when I tried it on my office computer it doesn't work. I emailed the file to myself and downloaded it from Outlook in the office. Its a .xlsm file. It gives me an error message that macros have been disabled. I have already changed settings to enable macros and allow VBA projects. I reopened excel and checked again it still doesn't work. The downloaded file from outlook, when I click visual basic, it doesn't show me any user form or code at all. Not sure why.
My whole code is present in the user form part (file in a personal laptop). There is a button on "sheet 3" which basically opens the user form. Not sure if it's saving the code only locally on my computer. As per my understanding if it's saved in the file it should be a part of it even if its opened on any other computer. My laptop version is office 365 and office one is 2016. I am not an advanced user. Kindly advise what is the error out here.
I want to make an Excel Online file, then post its link or embed it in my website. Clicking on that will open the file in Excel Online. Moreover, I want certain Excel add-ins to be installed and even launched automatically.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
If it's impossible with Excel Online, is it possible for a normal .xlsx file (I will make it, and opening it in Windows systematically leads to install an add-in and even launch it)?
If you're looking to automatically open a task pane add-in when the Excel file is opened, check out this article in the documentation: https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/design/automatically-open-a-task-pane-with-a-document?product=excel. The Office OOXML EmbedAddin sample provides an example of implementing the autoopen functionality that's described in the article.
Along with Kim's answer to automatic opening of a task pane add-in, you can using OneDrive to handle opening a file in Excel Online using Microsoft Graph.
You're start by uploading you're .xlsx file to OneDrive using an Upload Session. Once you're file is on OneDrive, you can retrieve it's meta-data for the DriveItem. Included in this meta-data will be a webUrl property. This is a URL that, when navigated too, will open your file using Excel Online.
I deleted my Mac OSX (El Capitan) Keychain. Everything except the certificates. Now, when I go to open an Excel .xlsx doc Excel reports:
"Can't open This_File.xlsx. This workbook is either deleted or not currently accessible."
I've verified that the file is present via Terminal. If anyone can help figure out how to open this file I would certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Since I deleted my keychain all of my Microsoft Office credentials that were tied to my work domain were also deleted, hence, I did not notice that I wasn't "signed in" to Excel (2016). Once I signed in to Excel, which then redirected me to a domain authentication page, Excel still did not let me open my workbook from the "recent documents" GUI. I had to open terminal and execute:
open /path/to/my/excel_workbook.xlsx
And then it opened. I hope this might help someone else in the future.
I have the following problem:
I have a process in SSIS and it generates .cube files and saves the files in Sharepoint folders.
I have users that open the files in excel. Some can see the data in the files and other can not see anything.
There is one user who opens the file on a computer on the company network and can not see the data in the .cube file, but if the same user opens the same file on a personal computer the user can see the data in the file.
Can someone help me?
There are a couple of possibilities here. First off, Excel has something called Trusted Locations. If a file is on a network share, you may need to add that share as a Trusted Location. Check the Excel backstage (or look for a video on Youtube about Trusted Locations) for more info.
Secondly, once the file is downloaded, do the properties of the file show the 'Unblock' button? They shouldn't for a typical intranet setup but there could be something unusual about your particular environment.
I have an excel file in the web server. I want to open the file and make some change then save it back online. What is the quickest and dirty way to do that?
In addition to that ,how to lock the excel file and notiy other person who want to edit it ?
If I understand correctly, the quickest way in my opinion would be to download the file onto your hard drive. Make the changes. And then upload it online.
To lock the excel file you need to set a password. In excel 2003 click tools, then click options, then go to the security tab. Enter a password so that when someone tries to open it, they are prompted to enter a password. If they don't enter the correct one, they can't open the file.
