How do you setup Excel Online to open your files via click

I need to default all Excel spreadsheets to Excel Online (365)

Hi NightWing,

You cannot default click Excel files to open in Excel Online, because you cannot associate file with Excel Online.

As a workaround, I suggest you can upload and sync files from your computer to OneDrive. Then you can access the file from anywhere by signing in to your OneDrive account.

To get more information please refer to these links:

I have noticed one strange thing, we are using Chrome instead of IE, because IE is locked version 8 because of specific application.  When you click to open a file in Excel Online, nothing happens.  ???

Hi NightWing,

Based on your description, I misunderstood your meaning previously, I should have thought you want to open local Excel files directly in Excel Oline.

So your issue is you cannot open files in Excel Online with Chrome. Please tell me the steps of opening a file in Excel Online. Could you open files in Excel online with Chrome before?

If possible, please provide the screenshot of your issue to us. Or you could be a bit more precise to explain your issue so that I can get more accurate solutions to this problem. I'm glad to help and follow up your reply.
