Windows 10: EXCEL WORKSHEETS MOVING

Hi, I am trying once again to get an answer to what appears to be a simple request but I cannot solve it.

I have 12 excel worksheets on my desktop (windows 10) they are labelled January through to December but each time I edit one of the worksheets I save it and it goes to a different part of my desktop , is it possible to get it to stay in its original position ?


Thanks Mike

Excel Worksheet in Drive G

If you saved the worksheet on C drive in Excel, that's where it will look for it. If you moved it to drive G (even by accident), Excel is still looking for it at the last known location where you saved it. If you open Excel and navigate to the location on the G drive where you know it is, then open it, and "save as" to the original location on the C drive, Excel will know where it is, and you will be able to open it next time from within the Excel program.

 

Excel Worksheet in Drive G


I did something to make a worksheet that I had prepared in Excel to go to my external drive G. Now each time I need to get the worksheet for some reason it tells me that it is not there, but I can see it in the external drive. I want to it on drive C.
Suggestions?

 

Unable to save excel worksheets or move /copy files


Are you using OneDrive to save your Office files? If so, this resolved the same issue for me:

Disable (unselect) the highlighted selection in OneDrive settings:





Restart computer, open Excel and one of files that was shown as read only. If it will now work as it should, and you are able to save / copy it, close the file, close Excel, and go back to OneDrive settings re-enabling the setting you disabled earlier.

Now restart again.

I am not saying this automatically fixes your issue, I am just saying it fixed it for me.
