Connect Excel Web with Excel desktop.

[abduallah_khalf]

Welcome everybody 

• I want to point out a particularly crucial point, which is that there is a severe lack of communication between Excel Web and Excel desktop (Windows, for example).

- For example, if you open a new page in Excel for the web, and want to create a table, all of this is easy to do.

After that, you want to share this table or page, whatever it is, a link will simply be created to share.

After that, you will open desktop Excel, and you want to extract this table from the link that you copied a while ago. You will go to “Import data from a web link” and paste the link.

The strange thing is that it will not happen as you imagine. You will find that the import or connection fails, and the table will never appear.

Please solve this problem or add this feature, especially since both Excel parties only differ in the type of platform, and this type of communication is very important and necessary to the utmost extent.

You can submit a request from the desktop version of Excel: File > Feedback > Send a Suggestion.

Or post it on the Excel Feedback Portal

I think you are confusing something.

If you share a file from Sharepoint or OneDrive someone else gets a notification with a link. The person clicks on the link and is taken to the web app and the file is opened. Form there it is possible to open the file in the desktop app.

If the other person wants to connect to the shared file he needs a different URL. See this tutorial.
