Users can't access Excel files in Microsoft 365 services User Impact: Users were unable to access Excel files within Microsoft 365 services. More info: Users may need to refresh their web browser or restart their app to see resolution. Impacted services may have included, but weren't limited to: - SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft 365 apps when attempting to open Excel files using an internet browser. - Microsoft Teams when attempting to open Excel files within the Microsoft Teams client.
