Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.
Thanks

  • How come I can't open Excel files from a Windows computer on my Mac?

    My roommate created several Excel spreadsheets on his Windows XP computer and saved them. I put a USB drive in his computer and copied those files to the USB drive and then placed the USB drive in my MacBook. When I go to open the file, it indicates that the files are being used by another user and that it can't open them. What's going on?

    What happens if you copy them to the computer and eject the USB drive?

  • Can't checkout Project files from SharePoint 2013

    I have library with 'require checkout' set that contains mpp files.  I have MS Project 2013 (SP1) installed locally.
    If I choose edit for one of the mpp files, it simply opens in MS project as read-only and doesn't allow me to save it (only as a local copy). There's no option to check-out anywhere. Obviously I can check-out manually in SP before opening then check in again
    afterward but it seems clearly wrong that I'm allowed to click "Edit", make changes, but then be unable to save back to SP again (even if you switch back to SP to check-out, Project still thinks you've opened it Read Only and won't let you save back
    to SP).
    What am I missing?

    Hi Dylan,
    Didn't you have this message just above the ribbon in MS Project 2013?
    Using Project Server 2013, MS Project by default opens projects in read-only mode, the user having to intentionnally click on the "check-out" button to check it out. That being said, I'm not sure if the behavior is the same with a project plan opened from
    a SharePoint librairy but it is worth checking this point.
    Hope this helps,

  • Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

    I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
    a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
    This affects less than 5 people in a large company.  They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously.  There has been no changes made to the server either.  I can't find anything that points to this in the
    event viewer. 
    It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.   
    I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

    I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
    Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
    Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
    Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
    Can they open other excel files?
    It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
    If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
    SharePoint has issues ;)

  • Getting error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site

    Hello All,
    I am getting following error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site.
    This issue appears when we open Excel document from Windows>> Run using below mentioned command:
    Excel.exe "{File Name}"
    If once I go to Excel back stage and browse for the SharePoint location, then this problem disappears.

  • Download all excel files from sharepoint location to local folder

    Hi,
    How to I copy all excel files stored at sharepoint location to local folder?
    Regards,
    Nidhi

    Hi NidhiP,
    To download Excel files from a SharePoint library by using SSIS, we need to make use of the Script Task. In the Script Task, we can use the methods provided by
    Lists Web Service to work with SharePoint files, and then use the
    WebClient.DownloadFile Method or
    FileStream Class to transfer the files from SharePoint to local file system.
    For the code examples, please refer to:

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.
    thx

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.
