O365: Excel and OneDrive document
-
I haven't gotten to work with OneDrive or Excel online as of yet.
But being as we are 'snow bound' I have one or two people that are asking about completed their timesheet.
I have it uploaded to OneDrive, but can't seem to edit it in O365:Excel., I don't seem to have the ability to open it.
Downloading Excel file opens a dialog box which you must enable editing to add data.
Since MS has changed the interface on O365 and O365:Excel - some things have been moved
What am I missing to be able to edit a document either on my local computer or shared via OneDrive.

Are you using OneDrive or OneDrive for Business? ODfB is what is part of O365 and what you want to be using.

I speculate it is the document. Not one that I have created. I connected to the office, saved it as a .xlsx file as it was a 97-2003 file type.It still didn't open, but it got farther than previously.
It is old enough I wonder if it should be replaced (my desire to automate some of it).
As for using OD or ODfB - Just ODfB...

Yeah, I doubt that XLS files will work. Try using a modern file from the past dozen years

LOL - haha... yea... uh huh.. what is wrong with old technology.... That Underwood Typewriter still works perfectly... except the bell....... Minor issue.
I re-saved it, that didn't help.. so I'm copying it to a new virgin workbook.. testing it now.

Creating a new document made a difference. I've known that I needed / WANTED to recreate many of the forms and such we have for HR and the departments. A vacation request was created in WORD and dumped to PDF, which forces a person to use a pen to complete it.
A form would be better... Especailly now with the options of OneDrive and Sharepoint....
