MicrosoftUpcoming change:Updating default sharing setting for Office 365 Group connected SPO site collections
I am having major issues with Online edit of Excel documents. As of this Tuesday about 30 of my Excel workbooks are no longer even viewable online let alone editable. The Excel workbooks that are can no longer scroll to the left or right other than with arrow keys. I have spent hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support with no results or answers. Was there any update done this monday or early Tuesday?
- There appears to be a health message in the tenants now. At least in relation to excel files not opening in the browser. Not sure if that is the problem you we seeing. Looks like MSFT are doing a code rollback.
Thanks for the heads up Phillip!
Its back up and running!
Tejas MehtaJust saw this, glad you have everything resolved.

Allan, you might have better luck in the Excel community here, but really should continue working with Microsoft support to resolve this issue. Derailing every thread you see a Microsoft employee on with your unrelated question/issue is probably not in the spirit of this community at all.
- Hi David,
I appreciate your point but I disagree that it's unrelated. This is not an excel problem and that has been established. It's due to some change made behind the scene to SharePoint. I apologies that this may not be the best place to get answers to the problem but it's as close as I can get to speaking with someone with knowledge or access to what is occurring behind the scenes in sharepoint. If you can point me in a better direction in terms of speaking to someone involved in the development/updates to sharepoint I would appreciate it?
As for derailing every thread... as far as I know this is the only thread I have "derailed", if you have knowlege of anyone else using my log in I would appreciate being pointed in that direction as well.- Tejas Mehta
Hi Allan, the change outlined in this thread has not been rolled out to customers yet. I posted as a heads up notification and to provide opportunity for customers to provide feedback (which is happening, and we're very thankful for!).
It sound like the issue you are experiencing is related to editing of Exel files in Excel Online only - is that correct? Or are you having problems editing in Excel app as well?
