Edit Excel in Sharepoint

I have documents saved in a document library in Sharepoint 2010. I want to be able to have multiple users edit a Microsoft Excel document in Excel by opening a document from this Sharepoint document library. I am able to change my settings to
allow multiple users to view and edit Excel documents in the browser. But I am not able to have multiple users edit the same document at the same time in Excel itself. Users are required to either wait until the current user finishes using the
document and/or check out the document in order to make changes. Is there a solution to enable multiple users to edit an Excel document at the same time from a Sharepoint library? Thanks.

Unfortunately, co-authoring is not supported for the Excel 2010 client application in SharePoint Server 2010.
Check the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718249%28v=office.14%29.aspx
"The Excel 2010 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint Server 2010. Co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint
is supported by using the Microsoft Excel Web App, included with Office Web Apps. "

Concurrent Editing Excel Workbook Sharepoint Online

I am having an issue that hopefully someone out there has some experience with.
We have a deployment of Sharepoint online working right now and we are running into an issue where Excel documents can only be edited by 1 person at a time. I need for those workbooks be be able to allow multiple people to get in to edit concurrently.
I have went through the options to share workbook but that doesn't seem to work.
What am I missing? It seems like Sharepoint should allow for this type of behavior.

Hi,
For your issue, there are some things you can try:
If you have Excel installed on your device, you can download the workbook and then open it in Excel.
If you have edit permissions to the workbook, you can try to
reduce the workbook's file size.
If you do have Power BI for Office 365 and the workbook contains a Data Model, you can check to see if the workbook is visible in
Power BI sites on Power BI for Office 365 and
enabled for web viewing.
If you don’t already have
Power BI for Office 365, you can sign up for it. Ask your administrator for help with this.
For more information, refer to the following article:

Update Excel to sharepoint and edit the data.

Hi experts,
Happy New Year to all,
I would like to know is it possible to update my excel sheet having 10 different fields (Columns) to share point, and edit them as a list. Want to know step by step procedure.
My requirement is as below
I want to update the list of activities for each member of my team, in a excel in the first 5 columns and then upload to the share point daily, as my team members were placed in different locations, I want them to update their achivements
for the day in the next 5 respctive columns. By filtering on their names respectively. So that I can check online and take the report back to excel whenevery i required.
I want to know
1) Step by step procedure I can upload the excel to share point
2) is it possible to restrict the data on particular field, to respective users.
Request to let me know how i can achive.

Excel and SharePoint List does not allow two way sync it is only unidirectional.
You have to go by Scott's suggestions or else Office Web Apps which will allow excel Semiformal co-authoring (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-HA101812148.aspx).
Here is how you can use the import Excel funcationality in SharePoint custom list.
1. Define a table to your Excel Data and Save the excel file
2. Go to your site, create a new list either using Site Settings or All site content menu, by selecting Import SpreedSheet
3. select table in the import dialog box
SharePoint will create a new list with the excel data.
As per your requirement , the challenges that we have are -
"a excel in the first 5 columns and then upload to the share point daily"
You cannot reimport excel to a list as per your above requirement, there is only one way of importing to a list library and every time it will create a new list.
" I can check online and take the report back to excel whenevery i required."
You can export the list to excel file for processing offline and again there is no resync between Excel and List.
"is it possible to restrict the data on particular field, to respective users"
You can use item level permission for restricting user access to a list item or use SharePoint designer custom workflow to give item level access.

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

Do we require to install microsoft excel in sharepoint 2013 server?. if require to use sharepoint 2013 excel services.
In our organisation, development team is asking to install office 2013 in SharePoint 2013 server to use different services, where as architecture team not allowing for the same. I need to provide proper justification for installing office 2013 in SharePoint
2013 server. Please provide me the correct solution for the same.

No, you do not need to install Office on the SharePoint server to utilize the Excel Services. Office should not be installed on the SharePoint server.
Do they need Office Web Apps? Are they looking to have the capability to edit documents in the browser maybe? Or have document preview on search? Office Web Apps would be required for this, but this is a different product than Office.

Unable to download exe files after unblocking, 404 error. handler mappings execute change prevent infopath, export to excel, and sharepoint designer from working.

I removed .exe from the block list, checked MIME types, all ok,
I followed this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/b380a13e-a15f-4e32-98cd-12747538ad20?prof=required
( go into IIS (I am assuming IIS 7.0) and select the particular web site and click
handler mappings and Edit feature permissions and
uncheck the Execute box .)
It works, I can now open exe files. But it causes other major troubles so far:
-Cannot Export Lists to Excel
-Cannot Publish and Save InfoPath forms
-Cannot edit subsites in SharePoint Designer.
Does anybody have another solution that won't disable other features? What is the best way to do it? I have SolidWorks Edrawings in .exe that needs to be accessible.
Thank you.
Guillaume Gagnon, MCP Senior System Administrator Forensic Technology WAI Inc.

Hi Guillaume,
As you know, if we remove the Execute permission for handle mappings, we will be able to download .exe file from SharePoint server. But as you said, this will cause other issues.
The another solution to allow to download .exe file is remove the CGI-exe handle mapping from the handle mappings directly. You may need to restart Internet Information Server(IIS). After that, we will be able to download .exe file directly.
Open the IIS manager
Select the site from the "Sites" tree
Double-click "Handle Mappings"
Right-click "CGI-exe", and then click "Remove"
Thanks,

Is there a way in install a trial version of Project server on a Licensed edition server of sharepoint 2013?

Is there a way in install a trial version of Project server on a Licensed edition server of sharepoint 2013? Is there anyway around this or do I need to make a new box all trial versions to test this out?
Thanks
James T.F

James,
Yes, it is possible , however I wont recommend to do it. Since, once Project trial period expires you need to uninstall project server which can not be done without uninstalling SharePoint. Unless you are willing to rebuild the farm once your
testing is completed

How to edit Excel files in MacBook Pro

I just got my first Mac and I am wondering if there are any programs/apps other than numbers or excel for Mac that I can use to edit excel files I have stored in my Dropbox account. I only have a few files and don't really want to spend alot of money on the previously mention apps/programs since I probably won't be using it alot. Any suggestion would be appreciated..thanks

I agree with Niel - OpenOffice is the way to go - http://www.openoffice.org/download/.
I have Office 2011, so I don't use OpenOffice too often, but it's nice to have something which costs nothing (save the blood and sweat of those who participate in making it work) that will open Word, Excel, etc., documents.
Good luck,
Clinton

Reporting and exporting to Excel in SharePoint Online

Hi
I've developed a SharePoint site to replace a legacy Access database that dealt with consumer complaints and queries. In the Access database I'd developed a feature that allowed users to filter the complaints by a number of criteria and export them to Excel
and I'm trying to do the same in SharePoint.
If it were on-premises SharePoint I'd just create a parameterised SSRS report which would solve all my problems. However being SharePoint online, this is not an option. I'd like the users to be able to select complaints from any date range, for any category
of complaint and for any product supplier (plus a few other criteria). The idea is that they want to be able to then send the filtered data to individual suppliers. Doing this out of the box with views throws up several problems. The main one is that any export
to Excel of a view exports the entire set of data, meaning that users themselves would need to create a new view for every export they wished to perform, which is not practical.
My question is: what is the best way in SharePoint online to export a filtered subset of a list to Excel?
I can use SharePoint designer, but not C# in order to achieve the goal. We also have SharePoint Online Plan 2 if that makes it easier.
Thanks in advance,
Duncan

Sharepoint Online Can not edit anything in Sharepoint designer as Site collection administrator

Dear all,
I am using sharepoint online and sharepoint designer 2013. Things were working fine but one day it suddenly stopped working. I have assigned site collection administrator to several accounts and I tried on different computers. I can not edit anything in
sharepoint designer 2013. Can not edit workflows, can not edit lists. Everything seems to be bugging out. I have reinstalled sharepoint designer and tried on different computers, all of them behave the same. I checked on all accounts I assigned site collection
admin to, they all have full control over everything. I can edit lists on the sharepoint site with no problem. Anyone knows what's going on?
I also created another blank site, same thing happens.

Are you able to edit site in IE?
Try below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/namkh/archive/2013/04/18/quot-the-web-site-has-been-configured-to-disallow-editing-with-sharepoint-designer-quot.aspx
One straight forward way of doing it is from the UI (Which did not work in my case though :( )
1. Right-click the ONET.XML file ( at \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\<var><Service></var>\xml) for the site definition and open it with Notepad
       If you see “DisableWebDesignFeatures=wdfopensite” section in the one.xml that means your site has been configured to disallow SharePoint designer.
      You can remove this section from the file and should be able to access the site in designer now
2.   If you are unable to get rid of “DisableWebDesignFeatures=wdfopensite” or find the correct onet.xml corresponding to your site definition, here is a simple script I put together to see if Designer is disabled on the site using the property
vti_disablewebdesignfeatures2 and update it as required.

Creating/editing Excel files(.xls)

hi,
does anyone knows java opensource library for produce/modify excel files?
I need a very simple library because i'have not a lot of time for my activity. moreover i need to produce simple excel report from a ResultSet with simple basic formatting infos.
for example i need to bold the header fields,etc...

Imagine if the forum had an extra layer between the "Post" button and actually posting the thread.
It would automatically search the forum (google too perhaps) based on identified key words (create edit excel) in this case and suggest a list of existing threads.
That would give the originator the chance to find the answer they were looking for without starting a new thread.
We know that some of these users can't be bothered to search (the beauty of the internet...) so why not do it for them.

Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list?

Hello All,
Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list. I know this can be done if i create Application page, but can i set site page as SharePoint list form. If yes, then how?
Also in any case is it possible to set New/Edit form of already created SharePoint list?
Please Help. Thank you.

You can set infopath form on a page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/convert-an-infopath-form-to-a-web-page-HA010215035.aspx
Try
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/70287/display-new-form-of-a-list-in-a-web-part-page
So it turns out that SharePoint Designer is the only way to accomplish this. You have to go into the page in Designer, edit the page, and select the Insert tab from the ribbon -> New Item Form -> select "CUSTOM LIST FORM..." (not one of the pre-populated
lists or you will get the barebones default content type!) -> Choose the list for the form you want to show and the content type, click OK -> Save the page in SP Designer and it will now show on the page embedded as a form. Success!

How to edit Excel files online

HI, is it possible to edit Excel files online, which where uploaded to webserver. I mean, opening an ecxel sheet changing different fields, and saving the changes without opening the .xls with my local office?
If yes, how?

you could try it with http://jakarta.apache.org/poi
That is a package that allows reading and writing of excel files, it wont be easy as you have to parse the excell file into HTMl that is editable.

What is the best App for filing, viewing, editing excel?

I need help choosing the best app to work with excel for the ipad. I have mariner calc and am unhappy with it. It drops out quite a bit of formatting and you cannot file in folders. What is the best option?
Thanks!

To Edit excel files the best app right now is currently Numbers, Numbers is severely limited in file organization and sharing right now. If all you need to do is look at excel files you have a couple options.
Option 1 (Requires Connectivity):
Place the file on the web and view it in safari
Option 2 (Offline use):
Use Goodreader to download and save your files, you can create folder Heiarchies and copy files from your computer using a sync cable from itunes, via email, or even through wifi.
If you can find something that combines the two options please let me know as I have been looking for solutions to this problem too. I wish apple had a shared folder space where apps could save files to be used in multiple programs much like they do with the photo albums
