Errors while saving excel file in ms office 365

Question

Errors where detected while saving [file name]. Microsoft Excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features. To make the repairs in a new file, click Continue. To cancel saving the file, click Cancel. When I try to continue it did not save at all. this Excel workbook has multiple forumals and macros and its protected, I dont own it. But I need to work on it and save.

I have tried everything and using Office 365 in windows 10. Please help.

Good Day

My Name is Phillip Roos and i will be happy to help the best way possible and in a timely manner.

Please try the following solution of repairing your office package:

The first thing you can do is to navigate and select the start button 2) Type in control panel 3) Navigate to "Programs". 4) Then select "Uninstall a Program" 5) Then find your office installation and right click (Usually say Microsoft Office 2016 or something similar) 6) Select change 7) Now a window will pop asking for "Quick Repair" or "Online Repair" 8) Select the Quick Repair option and reboot 9) If the problem continues select the Online Repair option and reboot

If the problem continues i do recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the office 2016/2013 package.

Please let me know if this helped or not, i will happily assist you further.

Kind Regards Phillip Roos

Answer 4

good day to you too, I dont want to edit in protected cells. I need to work in protected excel and save it as new workbook without editing any protected cells.
