Dynamic Text Boxes in PowerPoint. After multiple You tubes and searching I came across this for how to share an excel workbook and allow multiple users at a time. Took me 3 minutes to set it up. I tried this, and the link is visible on the toolbar but not enabled. Is there something else I need to do? My workbook has many sheets with pivot tables, slicers, charts… Could that be the issue?
It is an xlsb on a network. I have been struggling with getting this file accessible to multiple users without lockout issues. I was so excited to see this… I hope I can make it work!

I searched everywhere and even watched a couple of youtube videos but this was the only thing that worked! My boss recently upgraded my computer to Microsoft Office Professional Plus My problem is that when I open a document, other people can open the same document and make changes. Do you know how to change this? Can you set it up this way: first of all you have your base file with raw data.
Make that shared. Then start a new file with those cells linked to the first raw file and do your table formatting in there. If you have a local area connection, all users in the network can have access to any file. Not only that, any changes made to the file can be tracked.
You can also set which users would have access to the file. Start by saving the file in a location that can be accessed by everyone in your group. You can then set your file for collaboration. Office users will find the Shared Workbook feature hidden by default. This is because Microsoft encourages users to share workbooks online.
