    Hi @IniobongNkanga-8038,

    Before troubleshooting, I have something to confirm with you.

    • What's the scope of this issue, One specific Excel file or all Excel files?
    • How did users open the workbook? Open in the browser or download and open in local?

    Please firstly try Repairing a corrupted workbook and reupload the workbook to SharePoint. If user open the workbook in the browser, also try using a different browser. Sometimes, browser issues can affect how files are opened in SharePoint.
