Running Connect at home on a personal PC. I have a work 365 account; how do I link my MS365 account to enable access to excel (XLSX). I have a current xlsx editor (free) but it's not got the same functionality I can do with excel. When I now open Connect, create new Survey it defaults to the free XLS SWare.

Sounds like a Windows Default app issue. I'd start by going to your Default Apps and looking up what XLSX files open with.

 

EDIT: It occurs to me that finding that info may not be common knowledge. Search for "Default" in Windows > Open "Default apps" > scroll down and click "Choose default apps by file type" > wait for the list to load > scroll through the list and look for XLSX. You can click on the icon to change the default app.

I tried a few products and I got LibreOffice to work with Connect if you need a free option. Not sure how your company feels about using their username on a home PC, big nono for us.

haha. Good point. Obligatory: Please check with your IT to ensure your set-up complies with all corporate IT policies.
