Excel Web External data connections have been disabled
We are using one excel workbook to load all our jobs.
The boss had shared the file with us through our emails.
We load the file on a web based excel app and for the first day we can see everyone working and the changes been made real time but eventually we get an error that says security warning external data connections have been disabled
How can we resolve this ?
