Shared excel workbook, wont be shared -

Hi
We have a Sharepoint 2010 in our domain, and many of our users would like to edit on the same documents and excel spreadsheets.
The documents are no problem. If user A open a doc and then user B, they both can edit on the same documents, and also get a notification that there is someone else that is doing editing at the same time.
I would like to do the same with Excel - but I cant get it to work.
I have uploaded a Excel sheet, gone to Review - Share Workbook, allow several users to edit: This allow also a merge of workbooks (something like that - :)
So when users a open this Workbook, and start editing - then user B opens as well - he then get the "This file is locked for editing by domain\user would: A: Show a readonly copy B: Same and edit a copy of the file..
Argh......
If I take the same file, put it on a shared folder - both users can edit at the same time.
User A and B have full control on the Sharepoint doc library.
Why is this happening?
Thanx for any help.

Hi, and thanx for the reply.
But no, I have the same setting on the doc.library - but I still get "This file is locked for editing
by domain\user " etc.
Any other idea?

Shared Excel 2011 workbook (stored on NAS) - for 3 Mac users opens okay but 1 user opens as read only.

4 Users accessing shared excel workbook on NAS drive, all using OSX 10.9.4 & Office 2011 14.4.4
They all have equal permissions on the NAS.
Does anyone know why this might happen?
Many thanks
Mike

Delete a sheet in a shared Excel

Hello,
Is there any way you can delete a sheet through VBA when the Excel workbook is in shared mode?
Sheets(2).Delete Does not seem to work.
Nor does ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete.
Sheets("2015-02-19").Delete also causes an error.
Is there another way I can try?
Thankful for any help!

You'll have to unshare the workbook if you want to delete a worksheet.

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

Shared Excel sheet maximum users

I am trying to share a fairly complex workbook. I have the formulas protected and all of the subsequent tables flow into a summary table on the very first tab. For this reason, I do not want/can not use the Excel Web App. I have sharing turned on and am
successfully getting the [Shared] logo when the page is opened.
There is just one small problem. Sharing is limited to two users. I need the workbook to be accessible for up to 10 people at a time. Is that not possible by simply sharing the workbook on a local drive?
Please help me with how to solve this problem!

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no such limit for shared workbook. How did you shared the workbook to the users? Please try to disable the sharing and then share it again using the steps below:
1. Open the workbook that you want to make available to share.
2. On the Review tab, in the Changes group, click
Share Workbook.
3. In the Share Workbook dialog box, on the
Editing tab, select the “Allow changes by more than one user at the same time. This also allows workbook merging” check box.
4. On the Advanced tab, select the options that you want to use for tracking and updating changes, and then click
OK.
5. In the Save As dialog box, enter a shared location in the
Address bar.
6. Click Save.

Shared Excel spreadsheet "missing data"

We are currently working in a mixed enviornment Excel 2003 and 2007. Files are saved as XLS so all can use the files. The workbooks are shared. Multiple people can be accessing these files at the same time. We will be in this mixed
enviornment for the next 3 weeks than all will be moved to the 2007 platform. My current problem is:
When person A opens shared file X, enters data and saves and closes the file. Person B opens shared file X and there is no data from person A.
Are there settings on either 2003 or 2007 that will keep this from happening?

Hi,
Thank you for using Excel IT Pro Discussions forum.
When we share an Excel workbook, click the
Review tab, in the Changes groups, click
Share Workbook. Then, in the Advanced tab, under
update changes, we can choose either of the following:
When file is saved
Automatically every xx minutes
Which one did you choose?
Also, I suggest turn on track changes to better see the changes others made.
For more information about how to share an Excel workbook, you can also refer to this article:

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Excel file deletes from Shared location

While accessing an excel file from a shared location, if the file hangs during opening or saving and if I go to Task Manager and end the EXCEL process, the file gets permanently deleted from its location.

Publishing Excel WorkBook in SharePoint 2013

I have deployed Excel Services, SSRS and BI in SharePoint 2013. The Site BI has been identified as a Trusted location for Excel Services. When I publish a Excel workbook to a document library of the BI site, I get an error "Upload
failed Your Changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error. You may be able to upload this file using the server Web Page".. Before uploading the file, I have selected the whole sheet and in Formula Tab, selected define name, and
provided a name for the Sheet. I also have Office Web App servers deployed for the Farm.
Appreciate assistance to fix the problem. This is my first try to publish Excel Workbook using Excel services.
Thanks

Hi MP,
For your issue, please provide detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Also you can have a look at the similar thread:

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Visual Studio Community Edition - Error on creating ribbon for Excel Workbook project

Hi. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now so I hope someone can help me.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. On installation there was no option to include VSTO and, looking on various forums, I found it was necessary to install the VSTO - November 2014 update separately, which I have done. I'm working on a
brand new virtual server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and no other versions of Visual Studio have been installed (although I'm surprised to see Visual Studio 2012 as an item in All Programs - but it just contains command prompts).
I have created an Excel Workbook project. When I go to create a new item - Ribbon (Designer) - I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.Implementation, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've searched the Internet for anyone who might have had this same issue but have been unable to find anything to help me. I've tried uninstalling the VSTO-November Update and VS 2013 CE and reinstalling both but still the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
David.

Hello David,
What Office version do you have installed on the problematic machine?
Do you run Visual Studio as an administrator?

Power Pivot enable Excel workbook protection with password?

Hi All
We have a power pivot deployment without SharePoint in excel 2013 professional plus. All woks fine until we use a password to protect excel workbook so unauthorised users cannot open it. After enabling password protection we cannot access the power pivot
data model under power pivot excel tab. It tries to upgrade the power pivot model(which is not logical because it didn't do it before and was working fine). thereafter upgrade fails.
Has anyone successfully password protected a power pivot excel 2013 workbook? Is there a workaround to enabling security without SharePoint/office 365 etc?
Thanks
Sonny

Hi Sonny,
PowerPivot does not support row security or dynamic security. Security for a workbook is just a binary choice – either a user can read a workbook or she can’t.
In this case, I would suggest you consider designing Tabular model which can be secured using row security and dynamic security is also supported. For more information, please see:

OData Feed Link Format for an Excel Workbook Stored in SharePoint

I've heard it is possible to use an OData Feed Link to get data from an Excel Workbook that is stored on SharePoint 2013 online. Does anyone know the format for the link? I've been searching high and low and cannot get any specific format that works. Thanks!

I received this from someone on our team:
In PQ, click From File -> From Excel.
In the file dialog that appears, paste in your site url (e.g. https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams/myteam).
The file dialog will display the files stored in your sharepoint site. Navigate until you reach the desired excel file.
Select it and click done.
On the credential prompt, use Organizational.
Let me know if it works for you.
Ehren
