Office 365 viewer for Excel

The Office 365 viewer allows all users to view Excel files in the Data Room in their original format, just as they would on their local device. This feature is enabled by default. If you'd prefer users to view the files as secured PDFs instead, please follow the steps below:

1. Click Set permissions at the Buy side role you want to set up the Office 365 viewer for.set permissions
2. Decide whether you want to keep it enabled or disabled. It is enabled by default. excel viewer
Note: The viewer uses Excel Online, so users can view Excel in its original format. Excel Online uses a 25 MB file size limit for workbooks. When an Excel file exceeds the file size limit, users will automatically be redirected to the PDF version of the file. In this case, Admins can either grant Download original permission on those Excel files or reduce the file size of the Excel spreadsheet. Read more on Microsoft's website on how you can reduce a file size.
