Options won't open in files on Excel

Copper Contributor

Hi,  I'm trying to hide zero values in excel spread sheet.

 

 

I've selected files>Options but when I do I get taken back to the same worksheet. Nothing is opening and I can't continue to advanced to hide the zero values.

 

Any advice please most welcome

 

Many Thanks in advance

I can confirm that this solution works for me too. Now when I open a file the Options is displaying again.

I just recently downloaded microsoft 365 and when I attempted to work on excel macros I found that I could not access options. I on get a sheet with the following:

Options
Regional Format SettingsChange your regional format settings for Excel for the web

The File menu in the online (browser) version of Excel has Regional Settings as only item.

The online version has no support for macros: you can neither create them, nor execute them.

 

The desktop version of Excel for Windows / Mac is included in Microsoft 365. It supports macros.

The Windows version has an extensive File > Options dialog. The Mac equivalent is Excel > Preferences.

@leobeeson That works a treat and now works when i try it with a spreadsheet open. Thank you.

Awesome.... Thanks! @leobeeson

Thanks Leo
That was a good quick (and logical) fix...
It must be a software update glitch; I've modified spreadsheet options literally thousands of times and that's the first time that's happened...
Thanks again...
