Urgent help needed- An issue with online EXCEL 365 sheets

I used to work with my team via 365 excel sheets online. We used to work as 3 or 4 at the same time to enter data and so on. 

With every start of opening the sheet, it used to give a small pop up box says (only me  OR everyone) and by choosing only me, it totally makes you have a separate screen especially when you filter something without affecting the other team members work.. during the last 2 days, it stopped to gives this small pop up box says (only me  OR everyone) and with every-time someone filter something, it just be obligated to all screens.. For example if I am working on something on the 2nd of may and someone came to filter the sate choosing 3rd of may, My screen totally turns to the 3rd of May. so, I can't work separately. 

 

My question is how to get that fixed again as before or how to get this pop up box says (only me  OR everyone) again.

 

I am working on online file.

 

Thank you for your time and help in advance

  • Considering below:

     

    1. Check if Sheet View is Enabled
      • Open your Excel Online file.
      • Go to the View tab.
      • Look for Sheet View—if it's missing, it may have been disabled.
    2. Try Creating a New Sheet View Manually
      • Click on View > New Sheet View.
      • Apply your filters.
      • Save the view to see if it restores the previous behavior.
    3. Ensure Co-Authoring is Working Properly
      • If co-authoring isn't functioning correctly, the prompt may not appear.
      • Make sure the file is stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, as these support co-authoring.
    4. Try a Different Browser or Clear Cache
      • Sometimes, browser settings or cached data can interfere with Excel Online.
      • Try opening the file in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
      • Clear your browser cache and cookies.
