How To Download Excel File From Sharepoint Vba

Thanks for posting your issue in our community.

How to download excel file from sharepoint vba. Instead of attempting to download a accdb file i attempted to download a 5kb txt file. I ve test it on my side i upload an excel file with a simple macro and the file can be opened as fine in excel application. The trick here is to start from sharepoint and not from a vba script accessing sharepoint as a web server. I want to open an excel file in a sharepoint list via vba. Libarry export to excel.

Set up a data connection to excel sheet. In sharepoint browse to the view you want to monitor. From the onedrive app in ios android or windows 10 phone look for the offline icon for android or ios or for windows mobile devices. However in excel 2016 while i get the prompt for opening excel files on sharepoint i don t get the prompt when opening powerpoint files. It ended up downloading a 10kb txt file same size as the other downloads.

Upon opening the txt file it did not have the original text but instead the html source code for the sharepoint site s landing page to establish a login session using credentials. When you open this file it launches excel and creates a read only connection to the list of files in the folder. Here is my code. If you click on the export to excel button found in the sharepoint folder this will download a query iqy file. On a mobile device you can make files available offline which is similar to downloading files.

Export view to excel in 2010. Using vba in excel 2010 i could open a powerpoint file on sharepoint by passing the url location of the file. In the onedrive app select the files you want to take offline press and hold a file to select it. If i wasn t logged in it would prompt me for my credentials so it could open it.
