ACADE 2020 - Import/Export Data issue

pqphillips — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 15:51:34 GMT

Okay, so today's issue is a headscratcher.

When I go to export a project data to an excel spreadsheet, the resulting spreadsheet winds up being locked for editing by either "Nate Holt" or "luyu" and there is precisely zero data in the spreadsheets.

Any clues here?

First of all... L O L 🤣🤣
Do this happen for all excel-communication?
If you save a report to excel for example?

After testing it... yup.

Add "chongy" to the list of names, too.

Which Excel version are you using? If you click on FILE tab in Excel, select INFO then check the file for protection and issues with the relevant buttons. Might as well check version too.

Who created the Excel template or Excel file you are using? find the author's name for the file. Any match to the names listed?

Okay, I have found the problem...

Excel will show the files as locked when there is no other Excel file open. However, if I have another Excel file open and open the one I want, it opens with no issue.

Weird.
