Windows 10: Try to save new excell worksheet to a documnet file but get message that I "don't have...

I created an excel worksheet and went to save it with other documents in a Windows word document file/folder. I get an error message that I cannot save the file to that location and to contact the administrator to obtain permission. How do I do that? Where do I go? What do I do? It also asks if I would like to save the file to Documents instead. I try to save there as well and get the same error message. Help? I have put a lot of time/hours into making this document and I do not want to "lose" it by hitting the wrong key command

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.

 

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.

 

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?
