Hello @Lakshmipathy.S Personal,   

Good day! Thank you for posting your valuable question on Microsoft Q&A forum.  

I'm sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you're experiencing. 

To help us provide the most accurate and effective solution for the “UPLOAD FAILED. We're sorry someone updated the server version with edits that conflict with yours” issue, could you share a bit more detail about your setup? 

• Are you signed in to Excel with a personal account (e.g., Outlook.com, Gmail) or a work/school account linked to your organization’s domain? 
• Is the file stored in OneDrive, SharePoint, or Teams, and is it shared with other users? 
• Have you tried opening the file in other Excel platforms (e.g., Excel Online, mobile app)? Does the error occur there as well? 
• What operating system are you using (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android)? 
• Does this happen with one specific file or multiple files? 
• Are these files being co-authored (edited by multiple users at the same time)? 
• Do you see similar upload errors in other Office apps like Word or PowerPoint? 
• Could you share screenshots showing the complete error messages, along with any available troubleshooting options?

This additional context will help us understand your environment and the steps already taken so we can tailor the guidance to resolve the conflict effectively. 

I apologize for not jumping straight to a solution. I want to avoid suggesting anything that might be inaccurate or unhelpful. Once I have the details above, I’ll be able to assist you more effectively and guide you toward the right resolution. 

Looking forward to your response so we can get this sorted out for you as soon as possible.
