I Have an add-in that is working on Excel in chrome, excel in Edge, but doesn't work in excel desktop.
Any clues?
Thanks
In the article amitklein gave, it says:
Office will still use the EdgeHTML base for add-ins until a build of Office 365 that supports Chromium is installed on the computer. We expect these builds to ship in 2020. They will likely appear in the Insiders channel in the first half of the year.
I haven't found the Chromium based Office 365 in insider channel so I think the version for now is still EdgeHTML based and Excel uses Edge Legacy.
I have a couple of Excel Add ins. If I move to Office 365, will these add ins be available ? Is there any development support(VSTO) for Office 365 ?
I to have been curious about the answer to this, so went looking online. From the following site, I'd say the answer is no. It looks like developing for Office 365 is more along the lines of SharePoint development.

I have seen advertisements online for products such as this... http://www.ocxt.com/products that look like they could provide a possible solution for taking a vsto application to the web.
I think things have moved on substantially since this question was asked. Microsoft seem to be fully committed to the Add-in approach with Office 2013 and the equivalent VSTO tooling available in VS2012.
The Office Dev Center home page has Office 2013 and VSTO Add-ins written all over it.
This MSDN Blog Post also clearly shows Add-ins are still part of the strategy.
Until the full capabilities of Desktop MS Office are available in a browser, I can't see this situation changing.
If you mean Office 365 installed on client PC then there is no issue with VSTO Add-ins. Our Chem4Word Add-in is using Office 2010 VSTO and happily works with 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, O365.
If you mean Office 365 on-line then you have to redesign them using the Office 365 Javascript API
I have a site developed in Microsoft Office SharePoint server 2007 and I have installed Microsoft office 2010 on my machine. When I try to access excel file stored in document library. It gives me an error saying that it requires a Windows SharePoint Services compatible application.
It was working fine when I have Microsoft office 2007. So I am confused whether SharePoint is compatible with office 2010 or not...?
Thanks

Yes it is compatible and it should work. A number of things could be going on.
The OWSSUPP.DLL may not be registered correctly.
You could register it manually or reinstall
If you have the 64 bit version of office there are some known issues opening data in SharePoint.
http://www.knowsharepoint.com/2010/06/sharepoint-datasheet-view-and-office.html
Windows SharePoint Services Support files may not be installed.
in this case install these through Add/Remove programs. It's in the office tools section of the MS Office application.
If you have some applications that were part of Office 2003 or earlier you may need to uninstall them.
I have already enabled webclient service but i think I m missing something tht has to be done...
The client needs to run IE 32-bit and have a single recent Office 32-bit installed.
Mixed Office enviroments often seems to break the explorer view.
BTW should probably be asked on serveroverflow
How to fix this error in SharePoint:
"The list cannot be displayed in
Datasheet view. A datasheet component
compatible with Windows SharePoint
Services is not installed, your
browser does not support ActiveX
controls, or support for ActiveX
controls
It started to days ago, for apparently no reason. ActiveX is enabled on this site and I had everything working fine so far. Not sure what went wrong.
Thanks,
... from IE check out your Internet Options, and look under 'Programs'->'Manage Add-Ons'
When I had this problem it was because an add-on was missing or disabled... * thinks * "Microsoft Office List 12.0" or something.
I was getting the below in SharePoint 2010.
The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your browser
does not support running ActiveX controls.
Turns out the site (master page) was being rendered in IE9 mode and the datasheet supports only up to IE8.
The datasheet mode can be used temporarily by switching the Document mode and the User agent string both to IE 8, or permanently by using the meta tag X-UA-Compatible IE=8.
This is known issue and you have to install the hotfix provided by Microsoft.
The issue is addressed in the below specified link along with the URL for the hotfix.

Please install below data connectivity component to resolve this issue.

This link helped me and it worked fine. Our environment was Windows 7 64bit and MS office 64bit as well, after installing this connectivity tools, user had a option edit the data sheet view in sharepoint.
I ran into the same issue after updating to Office 365 but remaining with IE 11 and Sharepoint 2010.
Issue:
using a 64-bit version of Office with a 32-bit version of IE

Seems like a client/browser problem.. do you have Microsoft Office installed? Did you change security settings in Internet Explorer?
My environment is SP2010 enterprise and after trying several solutions, I realized that the user that could not see the views in Datasheet style was because did not have installed "Microsoft Access" that is required when you are using views in datasheet style. So the solution for me was to upgrade that specific user from Office Standard to Office Professional
For me, I performed the following and it worked for me:
Open Control Panel and open Programs and Features
Find your instance of Microsoft Office and select it
Click change at the top
On the dialog that comes up, click Add or Remove Features and then continue
Make sure Microsoft Access Web Datasheet Component is installed under Office Tools/Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support
Even if it is showing as installed, click Continue.
Let everything install, close any office programs out, then try again
These steps worked for me.
