Добрый день.
Проблема:
после обработки макросом данных из SAP — при отрытии файла выбивает ошибку:

До обновы на 2016 версию такой ошибки не было.
Все галочки — какие надо и какие ненадо — уже поснимал. Что то не помогает.
Прикол в том что когда нажимаю YES — никаких изменений в файле не происходит, данные в таком виде как и должны быть. И если сохранить и потом снова попробовать открыть — ошибка не выскакивает, только если закрыть без сохранения — снова выскакивает ошибка.
Может кто уже видел такую ошибочку и знает как убрать эту ошибку — так как изза неё пришлось макрос делить на части и сначала открывать все файлы, жать YES после этого сохранять файлы и только потом запускать вторую часть кода.
код пока не выставляю — не уверен что в нём проблема — думаю проблема в том что данные взяты з ERP SAP. но решил спросить — так как уже глову сломал а поиски не помогли.
Буду благодарен! с Ув.

Похоже, что редактировался в версии, которая поддерживает одновременное редактирование в OneDrive, то есть Office 365 канал Insider Fast. В структуре файла 7 пользовательских представлений, несколько разных Selections в структуре sheetViews и т.п.
Но и SAP сам по себе как бы «временно» создает, но не удаляет множество скрытых имен, в которых потом остаются ошибки в ссылках, что также может быть причиной данной проблемы.

Сообщение информационное и немодальное, коду мешать не будет. В журнале ошибок нет указаний о каких-либо изменениях данных, значит, исправлено что-то лишь в структуре. О факте подобной проблемы информирован и от других MVP.

снова ошибка — тоже самое что было с методом Open. ( скорее всего изза своей тупости в этом деле )

  Const FNAME = "C:UsershorzovmDesktopTrend NESPRESSO.wk07.xlsx"

Конечно, если что — публикуйте код.
На всякий случай привожу универсальный вариант с попыткой обычной загрузки, а если не открывается, то еще и с попыткой восстановления. Это может работать медленнее, чем сразу с восстановлением, так как при загрузке проблемных файлов, по-сути, выполняются 2 попытки загрузки

Select ‘Blank’ workbook. When the new Excel Workbook opens, again choose the ‘File’ menu and this time, select ‘Options’.

Hi Guys

I have been experiencing some issues with Excel 365 in my organisation. The problem happens when a user creates or edit an Excel document on our DFS shared folder then they try to access the file another time, they get the error below.

If they hit yes they get the below error.

Basically Microsoft can’t recover the file, however if the end user copy the file to their local computer and run it. They get the message in the first picture and it can recover.

The other thing I got a workaround to fix the issue on spot without having the end user to copy the document to their local computer and try to run it. I simply press the shift key and open in protected view then it start recovering the files, 90% of the
time I can overwrite the corrupted file without saving another copy of the document, but the other 10% I have to make a new copy of the documents with the recovered data.

Questions:

1- Why this corruption happens?

2- Why it doesn’t recover on the DFS share but it does on local computer? or using the work around?

— The issue happens intermittently and with different files.

— I can’t replicate the scenario, but very often we get files in this corrupted state.

— Users have the appropriate permissions to the DFS, the same thing happens even if an administrator tries to recover the document.

— Excel version:
