Hello,
I am currently running Sharepoint Online Plan 2 and I am in the process of developing a Team Site.
I have a SharePoint List that is populated through an InfoPath Form on the site. However, I ultimately want to use this list to generate a PowerView report to be easily viewed on the Team Site. So, I have created an Excel document that pulls the data from the SharePoint List. This Excel document then has the PowerView Report in it as well. I currently have a link on the side panel that redirects the user right to the Excel document (it opens in the Excel Web App).
MY PROBLEM is that when someone adds a new line to the SharePoint List, the Excel spreadsheet (and ultimately the PowerView Report) is NOT refreshing. The only way to make the Excel document sync with the List is to manually go into Excel and click "Refresh All." I don't want users to have to do that.
I think this problem stems from the fact that SharePoint Lists are apparantly NOT supported in the browser Excel Web App. When I open the document I get a warning ribbon at the top saying that some features of my file are not supported in the browser. When I ask for more details it says this "unsupported feature" is the SharePoint List.
Despite all of this, is there any way I can make Excel automatically update itself everytime a new line is added to the SharePoint list that it is pulling from?
Thanks!
