Hi,
This seems such a silly problem for me, so silly that I can't seem to solve it.

The company I work for has just upgraded/ changed to Sharepoint on the cloud and we all have the Office 365 suite of programs/ apps on our computers.

Previously when I wanted to open more than one workbook at a time (from the same folder), I'd Shift or CTRL click the workbooks I wanted from either Explorer or the File/ Open dialog.

Sharepoint doesn't seem to work like that and I can't open more than one workbook at a time in the Excel app.
Sharepoint online doesn't allow me to do it either, again, only allowing one at a time.


This will pose a small problem next February when I have to start updating our petty cash templates for over 50 offices
(yes, I know this should be left to the offices, but we do want to keep a modicum of control over the process and it has finally been highlighted by management that there's a massive IT skills gap in our organisation)

Googling seems to produce no answers, the ones they do seem to be focused on uploading TO Sharepoint instead of opening
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
