    Excel Co-Authoring - Client version - 2016

    Hey!

    At work we use Excel 2016 and the only way I can get co-authoring to work is via the O365 version. The client version of Excel shows "this file is locked for editing"

    Is there a simple trick I am missing?
    Is the work version of excel requiring an update? I can find out which version it is if necessary.

    My team would greatly benefit from co-authoring as I have had to create spreadsheets for 6 people and then another "master" sheet the team open in O365, which uses external data connections to combine all the data.

    One sheet, which everyone can open within the client version. Holy grail.

    Help please.

    The Excel versions that support Co-authoring are:
    - Excel for Office 365*
    - Excel for Office 365 for Mac*
    - Excel Online
    - Excel for Android
    - Excel for iOS
    - Excel Mobile

    Excel 2016 doesn't support co-authoring i'm afraid.

    Thanks for confirming that. That does condemn us to the O365 version of Excel, until it is (hopefully) implemented in the future.

    Is there a way to configure O365 excel to feature things like CTRL+; for date? Or is it a compromise either way?
