I have a problem with Excel in the browser when trying to edit a file on Sharepoint.
The file has been edited by various people and so it has some legacy issues. One of those issues is "Text Queries"
When I go to edit in the browser I get this message:
So I have to edit in full Excel - even for a quick change.
My question: Is there a way to remove the text queries from the file?
I tried going to "Data > Queries & Connections" and deleting the queries that showed up but I still have the problem.

Thanks @Sergei Baklan once I did this and then opened and saved as a "Editable File" it seems to be working.
Once again you've really helped me. I appreciate it.
