Cannot Release Lock on SharePoint Online File
SharePoint thinks a user still has a lock on. I can't adminsitratively do anything with the file online. This has been going on for almost a day. We've cleared cache, closed Excel on his computer, cleared out some local cashe directories, rebooted, etc. Nothing is clearing up this lock. All I want to do is delete the file at this point, and I can't even do that. What are my options as a Global Admin?SolvedBrent EllisApr 04, 2017Silver Contributor654KViews4likes96CommentsImport excel into existing list (with data already in it)
Hi, Is it possible to import data from an excel sheet into a SharePoint list that already contains data in it? Basically I just want to add to the list that's already in SharePoint without overwriting the existing lines or having to create a new list each time. Thanks!SolvedRRMX01Mar 25, 2021Copper Contributor574KViews1like51CommentsCopy or Move Site Page from one site to another
Hello, I've been searching to see if this is possible but it appears with the modern experience, you can only copy a site page to the same Site Pages library in the same site. If I switch my view to Classic Experience, I can copy a site page to another site if I put in the URL path to the other site's Site Pages library. Does anyone know if this will be available in the modern experience? We have to use ShareGate currently to copy modern pages from one site to another but we would like to have the ability to do this in the SharePoint UI.

John White, jcgonzalezmartin is there a way to update a sharepoint list from Excel? (other than through 3rd party tools like SoftFluent's Sharepoint list synchronizer?

We would like to see some kind of preference that a user can set to open files from SharePoint directely in the Office Apps instead of Office Online when clicking on them. This saves an extra click, and makes that SharePoint isn't showing many tabs for all opened documents (and next to that our users prefer to working in the Office Apps).SolvedSonny GillissenAug 31, 2016Brass Contributor331KViews2likes27CommentsAuto-Increment Number Field in a SharePoint List
I need to create an auto-increment field with a standard amount of digits. The format needs to be like this T000001, T000002, T000003, ......T000010, etc (7 Digits). When it gets to the 10th record it should not do thisT0000010 (8 digits). I tried using the popular, often referenced solution (link below). This method does not work as I hoped. If you put it in a format like this T1000, when it gets to the 10th item it does thisT100010 rather thanT10010. Here is the popular solution I already tried:https://www.epmpartners.com.au/blog/how-to-create-an-auto-incrementing-number-field-in-a-sharepoint-list/SolvedNinjakJan 30, 2020Copper Contributor327KViews1like26CommentsE-mail from no-reply@sharepointonline.com
Hi In this quite "new" blog: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/skywriter/2017/02/13/office-365-weekly-digest-2017-06/ It's written "We're updating the OneDrive for Business Internal Sharing Mails. Mails sent from sharing documents from OneDrive for Business to internal users will have a new modern look that provides more information to the recipient as to what's being shared at a glance. At this time these mails will no longer be CC'd to the original sender. We will be replacing this behavior by sending these mails from the original sender's mailbox (as opposed to a no-reply address) in the near future." I like this :) I also would like to have this behavior on mail's sendt from SharePoint Online (no-reply@sharepointonline.com), when files in documentlibrarys are shared. Do anyone know if it's any plan to move in that direction? Br.

Since this morning several client versions of excel that have a pointing to sharepoint (our tenant) give the following message; does this happen to anyone else?micheleariisJul 31, 2024Steel Contributor263KViews6likes127CommentsDesktop Shortcut to Sharepoint Files
Hi, I currently have a lot of users sharing a small excel file which is currently over OneDrive but im seeing a few minor teething issues with so many people connected (<15 people). The file itself is stored on sharepoint.com site and so I wondered if its possible to directly open this file with the desktop app? The problem im experiencing is, I can browse the folder structure and open this in Windows explorer, however if I close the webpage down it appears to drop the credientials and the location is no longer available through windows explorer. I've tried desktop shortcuts directly to the file, to the parent folder but all drop the access once the webpage is closed. Is there another way of achieving this? I really wanted to strip out any middle software such as OneDrive or Teams and just go straight to the Sharepoint File. ThanksAdam1VFeb 25, 2020Copper Contributor261KViews0likes29Comments
