Question
Can't edit Excel files with Office 365 iPhone app.
I signed up for the Education Trial of Office 365. I installed the Office 365 app on my iPhone. I saved several Excel files to my SkyDrive. I can OPEN the files using the Office 365 app on my iPhone, but I cannot EDIT them. When I try to edit a cell, it says "unable to edit workbook".
I thought I would be able to edit Excel, Word, PowerPoint documents using the Office #365 IOS app. If I cannott edit files and save them back to my SkyDrive, then Office 365 and the IOS app will not work for our school used.
Explanation / Answer
The specific error you are seeing indicates that there is specific functionality in your spreadsheet that Office Mobile doesn't support.
In general, you can edit in Excel, however there are a few things such as macros and a number of other embedded "add-ins" that aren't supported. In these cases, the app won't let you edit the spreadsheet, but does allow you to view it.
Hope this helps:-)
