Microsoft Teams is the hub for team collaboration in Microsoft 365 that integrates the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. Save the Excel file somewhere in SharePoint Online. I recommend a library in a Teams site. There might be some limitations on where you can save this, based on connector options and licensing. SharePoint library should be fine. Once saved up there, open the Excel file and rename the table for the sake of ease. In addition, if people are using Excel for Microsoft 365, then everyone needs to have AutoSave on to see colored selections. If you're using Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel for the web, Excel for Android, or Excel for iOS and you don't see other people's selections, then wait a few seconds. If you still don't see someone's selections, make sure. To create a Word, PowerPoint, or Excel document in Teams, select New, then select the kind of file you'd like to create. The new file will open in Teams so you can begin editing it, and if you'd prefer to work in the desktop version of the app, select Open in Desktop App at the top of the app, in the middle of the ribbon.

Tabs allow team members to access services and content in a dedicated space within a channel or in a chat. This lets the team work directly with tools and data, and have conversations about the tools and data, all within the context of the channel or chat.
Owners and team members can add tabs to a channel, private chat, and group chat to help integrate their cloud services. Tabs can be added to help users easily access and manage the data they need or interact with the most. This can be a Power BI report, a dashboard, or even a Microsoft Stream video channel where you publish training videos.
Note
The change from using Microsoft Stream to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings will be a phased approach. At launch you'll be able to opt-in to this experience, in November you'll have to opt-out if you want to continue using Stream, and some time in early 2021 we'll require all customers to use OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for new meeting recordings.
Work with tabs
With every new channel, two tabs are provisioned by default: Conversations and Files.
With every private chat, four tabs are provisioned by default: Conversations, Files, Organization, and Activity.
Owners and team members can add more tabs to a channel or chat by clicking Add a tab at the top of the channel or chat.
Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF files must be uploaded to the Files tab before they can be converted to tabs. Any existing uploaded file can be converted to a tab with a single click, as shown below.
To add a website, the URL must start with an https prefix so information that's exchanged remains secure.
Detailed instructions are provided when a team member tries to add a custom tab to their channel or chat. When a custom tab is added to a channel, a Tab conversation is created that allows team members to have focused discussions about the content.
Develop custom tabs
In addition to the built-in tabs, you can design and develop your own tabs to integrate to Teams or share with the rest of the community. See our developer documentation for more information.
The CData Excel Add-In for Microsoft Teams enables you to edit and save Microsoft Teams data directly from Excel. This article explains how to transfer data from Excel to Microsoft Teams. This technique is useful if you want to work on Microsoft Teams data in Excel and update changes, or if you have a whole spreadsheet you want to import into Microsoft Teams. In this example, you will use the Teams table; however, the same process will work for any table that can be retrieved by the CData Excel Add-In.
Establish a Connection
If you have not already done so, create a new Microsoft Teams connection by clicking From Microsoft Teams on the ribbon.
You can connect to MS Teams using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the MS Teams OAuth endpoint opens in your browser. Log in and grant permissions to complete the OAuth process. See the OAuth section in the online Help documentation for more information on other OAuth authentication flows.
Retrieve Data from Microsoft Teams
To insert data into Microsoft Teams, you will first need to retrieve data from the Microsoft Teams table you want to add to. This links the Excel spreadsheet to the Microsoft Teams table selected: After you retrieve data, any changes you make to the data are highlighted in red.
- Click the From Microsoft Teams button on the CData ribbon. The Data Selection wizard is displayed.
- In the Table or View menu, select the Teams table.
- In the Maximum Rows menu, select the number of rows you want to retrieve. If you want to insert rows, you need to retrieve only one row. The Query box will then display the SQL query that corresponds to your request.
- In the Sheet Name box, enter the name for the sheet that will be populated. By default the add-in will create a new sheet with the name of the table.
Insert Rows to Microsoft Teams
After retrieving data, you can add data from an existing spreadsheet in Excel.
- In a cell after the last row, enter a formula referencing the corresponding cell from the other spreadsheet; for example, =MyTeamsSheetInExcel!A1.
- After using a formula to reference the cells you want to add to Microsoft Teams, select the cells that you are inserting data into and drag the formula down as far as needed. The referenced values you want to add will be displayed on the Teams sheet.
- Highlight the rows you want to insert and click the Insert Rows button.

As each row is inserted, the Id value will appear in the Id column and the row's text will change to black, indicating that the record has been inserted.
