Need Help.... Excel for the web does not support running or interacting with Camera Tools

Question

Hello, i need help.

I create excel file with camera tools function. It works fine if i open the excel file in desktop . Then i upload the excel file to sharepoint and open it using excel online / excel web. But i've got this error message. "Excel for the web does not suppoer running or interacting with Camera Tools".

Does this mean camera tools cannot works in Excel Web ? If cannot, is there any ways to solve my problem ?

Dear Sugiarto88,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

I went through your question, tested from my side, and I can reproduce the issue!

Please Note: As of now, Excel for Web does not support a lot of features as compared to Excel Desktop app. We really apologize for the inconvenience this has caused!

To address this concern, I kindly suggest you submit your feedback by clicking on Send Feedback button on the Excel · Community (microsoft.com). and let the Developers Team know how important it is to add a functionality for allowing Excel for Web to interact with Camera tools. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our Product Team is in charge of the site and they are constantly checking the comments and feedback from our customers. Microsoft aims to improve its products, features and services via customer feedback.

As a workaround, now that you mentioned that your file is saved in SharePoint, you can use an option of Open in App. This will always redirect your file to open in Desktop app, use your Camera tools and the changes to your file will save the SharePoint location, the same file you opened:

Thanks for your kind understanding and cooperation. I hope the above helps!

I hope you have a great day and stay safe!
