sending an excel file

In Excel, there are two main ways to send a file by email:

1. Send a share link
   • Open the workbook.
   • Select Share.
   • Add the recipient’s email address.
   • Choose permissions if needed, then select Send.
   • This is best when the file is saved to OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online, because recipients get a link to the latest version.
2. Send the file as an attachment
   • In Excel, go to File > Share.
   • Choose Attach a copy instead.
   • Enter the recipient’s email address and send.
   • If Outlook is installed and set as the default email app, Excel can open an email with the workbook attached.

If the goal is to send the workbook in the email body instead of as an attachment, Excel also supports Send to Mail Recipient from the Quick Access Toolbar.

If sending directly from Excel does not work, use one of these supported workarounds:

• Upload the workbook to OneDrive and share the link.
• Save a copy locally and attach it manually in Outlook.
• Use Classic Outlook if direct send from Excel is needed, because community guidance indicates New Outlook does not support the MAPI integration used for this feature.
