Hello Community,
I want to know if there is a way where specific users of sharepoint can be notified, when other users have made specific changes within a excel file shared at sharepoint ?
Best regards Emil

Hi @Emil Møller , Is there anything update? If there is any reply helps you, you could accept it as answer.
Yes, just use "Alert Me" from the context menu of that excel sheet. If you an admin of the site, you can add other users in the next form.
Important to note while you can alert for when a document is changed, the OP is asking for alerts on specific changes to the document. Unfortunately that isn't possible OOTB as SharePoint Alerts do not parse the file contents.

The "Alert Me" option is no longer listed within the pull down menu options as displayed within your example. Would you happen to know where this information is located within an updated version?
Hi @Emil Møller ,
Aside from the "Alert me" feature in SharePoint, you could set up Power Automate to create a flow to send Notifications.
The logic would be like this: when the file is modified, send an email to the user. Please refer to the below picture:

I'm not seeing the areas referenced above.
How do I get to this screen for alerting if something is changed.
Sorry I'm a little new to SP but still learning.
You just need to access the SharePoint Document Library that your file resides, find the file, right-click on it and select "Alert me".
