Excel cant open in Teams

Copper Contributor

We have a problem with Teams.

Opening the Excel file in Teams is not possible, i can open the file by clicking right mouse button to a new browser, but by default can`t open in Teams.

 

Any idea`s how to resolved this issue?

Try this if using the desktop app

1.) Log out of Teams and exit the Teams program completely from the Task Bar
2.) Flush the Teams cache (https://commsverse.blog/2018/09/28/clear-the-microsoft-teams-client-cache/)
3.) Fire up Teams, Login again
4.) Try to open the excel in Teams

If you are using the web app, try downloading the file out and re-uploading the file and see if it works then

Let me know how it goes. Hope it manages to fix your issue

Whe create a new vdi, but its not working.

@Aydin5579,
How was this resolved?

I was able to rename the  %appdata%\microsoft\teams\cache\index file to indexold

rename the %appdata%\microsoft\teams\Service Worker\{GUID} folder to {GUID}OLD

 

When Teams is started again it will replace these files and everything for me worked.

 

Good Luck
