    Hi Martin,

    It is not feasible to directly open the Excel Online in Edit mode. Because when you click on Edit Workbook, Excel will verify your permission.

    While you can open Excel Online in Edit mode by clicking three dots beside the file name then choose Open in Excel Online as shown below as a workaround.

    We welcome and encourage you to share your ideas through UserVoice. Understanding your experience helps us to make our product and service better for you and others.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Hi Martin,

    On your SharePoint site, you can set the default behavior when opening a document for a document library by navigating to Document Library Settings.

    On your SharePoint document library, click on Library on the ribbon, then go to Library Settings. Navigate to the Advanced Settings, and then go to Opening Documents in the Browser option.

    Note that the file should be located on that same document library in your SharePoint site, for the settings to take effect.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Thank you, but I'm not solve the problem. Explain better. After opening Excel I want at work, I like this while Excel opens, but the drop-down box should be selected, opened in a browser. I do not think so, opening excel, now you can work in Excel online as in Onedrive Live.

    Hi Martin,

    Can you provide a screenshot of the drop down box you stated? As based on my understanding, you want a drop down box selection to open your document in browser.

    If the above statement is correct, it is not feasible. You can only set the default behavior when you open your document, on the library settings of the document library.

    If i misunderstood your question, can you provide a more detailed description of what you want to achieve?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I send a PRT SC.  

    Sorry I did not change the language, but it's fast. Perhaps it is understood.
    -Open Excel from SharePoint - open Picture_1
    -in that window, I can not work, you can not write, or anything else, squeeze Picture_2  (collum TWO is Excel in BROWSER)
    -Open the excel Picture_3
    I would like to immediately open excel online, possible adjustments and work
