Is anyone else getting OneDrive access error when trying to use the Data Visualizer in Excel?
Our organization doesn't use OneDrive. Suddenly this week the Data Visualization add-in for Excel is requiring it to save a new visualization in an Excel spreadsheet.
I checked our version of Windows 10 and Excel for the known error but both are newer than that. We had other problems come up this week where OneDrive was expected and OneNote tabs in Teams would not connect to the notebooks nor allow a new notebook tab to be created except from OneDrive. I don't know if this is related but that was fixed overnight and this was not, so maybe it isn't.
If you save new file on SharePoint and after that start to create something with Add-in, it saves data on this SharePoint site.
If you start with add-in on not saved file, or saved locally, add-in saves data on OneDrive.

- Thank you for the information. It may come in handy if we are ever allowed to use OneDrive or OneDrive for business. None of our users currently have any OneDrive access. We have SharePoint Online and Office365 only.
How do we tell Windows 10, Excel, Visio, Word, SharePoint, etc. that we do not use OneDrive so it doesn't stop our users from using the O365 products?Info for: SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Office for business Microsoft 365 admin SharePoint Server 2019 OneDrive (work or school) Office.com OneDrive (home or personal) OneDrive (work or school) operated by 21Vianet OneDrive for Business OneDrive for Mac OneDrive for Windows SharePoint admin center SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Small Business SharePoint operated by 21Vianet
Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive
