Hi icTheo

When it comes to online Office / Excel, It all depends on the content of your excel file. Some features, such as VBA projects (macros) and XML maps, prevent a workbook from being opened at all in Excel Online. When you try to view or edit a workbook like this in Excel Online, a message notifies you that the workbook can’t be opened in the browser.

If you have permission please edit the workbook, you can open the workbook in the Excel desktop application. If you see another message that says you don’t have a supported browser or the correct version of Excel, see https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/edit-a-workbook-that-contains-features-unsupported-by-excel-online-7220105d-97ad-4c35-95c8-58d4bbfd14af#__you_get_an

Hope it helps ,
