Sorry about the lack of information previously. I am new to using macro and SharePoints.
- What do you define as "stops working?" Never starts, errors out? - never starts
- What is your macro supposed to do? - Its just a basic Macro designed to clear all the data in the spreadsheet
- Are you opening the document in Excel Online? Excel Online doesn't support macros. - its the online version of excel. If Excel online doesn't support macros that may be why its not working
- Does your macro use an Open trigger, or something like it? If your macro-enabled spreadsheet is a template, SharePoint doesn't handle startup triggers on template documents very well. The macro is ran by the user selecting. The macro is ran by the user pressing the 'clear data' button. I am not sure if this is an Open trigger or a startup trigger.
- Does your macro reference any local or network locations? - No
If the spreadsheet was opened in a SharePoint and then the user selected the edit in Excel option would the Macro work?
Cheers
If you open your Excel workbook in the Excel desktop client, your macro should have no issue running in the client.
