Excel如何实现局域网内共享工作簿协作Excel数据功能强大，非常好用，但平常用的时候大家总会觉得共享性比较差，不能像系统软件那样进行网络共同协作使用同一个文件。
其实，Excel也有提供局域网能共享协作的功能。
共享工作簿功能共享工作簿，可以为多用户编辑提供的现有工作簿。
但是共享工作簿并不支持所有功能，它支持以下功能：1）可以插入整行和列。
2）可以按数字、文本或日期进行排序或筛选，应用内置筛选器，然后通过使用“搜索”框进行筛选。
3）在单元格值发生变化时可以使用现有条件格式。
4）键入新值时可以使用数据验证。
5）可以查看现有图表和报表。
6）可以查看现有图片和对象。
7）可以使用现有超链接。
8）可以查看现有绘图和图形。
9）可以使用现有密码。
10）可以使用现有保护。
11）可以使用现有分级显示。
12）可以查看现有分类汇总。
13）可以查看现有模拟运算表。
14）可以查看现有报表。
15）工作簿中的现有切片器在共享工作簿后可见，但不得将其更改为独立切片器，或者重新应用于数据透视表数据或多维数据集函数。
应用于切片器的任何筛选保持不变，无论切片器在共享工作簿中是独立的还是用于数据透视表数据或多维数据集函数。
16）工作簿共享之后，工作簿中将显示现有的迷你图，并且将作出更改，以反映更新的数据。
但是，您不能创建新的迷你图、更改其数据源或修改其属性。
17）可以运行访问可用功能的现有宏。
可以将共享工作簿的操作记录到存储在其他非共享工作簿的宏中。
18）正确地计算现有数组公式。
设置共享文件夹在电脑里面设置一个共享文件夹，用来放置共享Excel文件，如建立一名为“20161024”的文件夹，然后鼠标右键菜单“属性”，进入文件夹属性设置，进行共享设置。
设置完成之后，我们就在“网络”中可以看见共享的文件夹“20161024”。
共享工作薄设置打开我们需要共享的工作薄，选择“审阅”——“共享工作薄”设置共享。
在“共享工作薄”对话框从勾选“允许多用户时编辑，同时允许工作簿合并（A）”，确定退出就好了。

This is a major achievement because, in relative terms, planets are very small and old not emit light. Finding planets is proving hard enough, but finding life on them will prove infinitely more difficult. The first question to answer is whether a planet can actually support life. In our won solar system, for example, Venus is far too hot and Mars is far too cold to support life. Only the Earth provides ideal conditions, and even here it has taken more than four billion years for plant and animal life to evolve. Whether a planet can support life depends on the size and brightness of its star, that is its 'sun'. Imagine a star up to twenty times larger, brighter, brighter and hotter than our own sun. A planet would have to be a very long way from it to be capable of supporting life. Alternatively, if the star were small, the life-supporting planet would have to have a close orbit round it and also provide the perfect conditions for life forms to develop. But how would we find such a planet? At present, there is no telescope in existence that is capable of detecting the presence of life. The development of such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical projects of the twenty-first century. It is impossible to look for life on another planet using earth-based telescopes. Our own warm atmosphere and the heat generated by the telescope would make it impossible to detect objects as small as planets. Even a telescope in orbit round the earth, like the very successful Hubble telescope, would not be suitable because of the dust particles iron solar system. A telescope would have to be as far away as the planet Jupiter to look for life in outer space, because the dust becomes thinner the further we travel towards the outer edges of our own solar system. Once we detected a planet, we would have to find a way of blotting out the light from its star, so that we would be able to 'see' the planet properly and analyze its atmosphere. In the first instance, we would be looking for plant life, rather than 'little green men'. The life forms most likely to develop on a planet would be bacteria. It is bacteria that have generated the oxygen we breathe on earth. For most of the earth's history they have been the only form of life on our planet. As Earth-dwellers, we always cherish the hope that we will be visited by little green men and that we will be able to communicate with them. But this hope is always in the realms of science fiction. If we were able to discover lowly forms of life like bacteria on another planet, it would completely change our view of ourselves. As Daniel Goldin of NASA observed, 'Finding life elsewhere would change everything. No human endeavor or thought would be unchanged by it." 【课⽂翻译】 天⽂学⽅⾯最新发展使得我们能够在银河系和其他星系发现⾏星。

Why had the neighbours left their farm?The river which forms the eastern boundary of our farm has always played an important part in our lives. Without it we could not make a living. There is only enough spring water to supply the needs of the houses, so we have to pump from the river for farm use. We tell river all our secrets. We know instinctively, just as beekeepers with their bees, that misfortune might overtake us if the important events of our lives were not related to it.We have special river birthday parties in the summer. Sometimes were go upstream to a favourite backwater, sometimes we have our party at the boathouse, which a predecessor of ours at the farm built in the meadow hard by the deepest pool for swimming and diving. In a heat wave we choose a midnight birthday party and that is the most exciting of all. We welcome the seasons by the riverside, crowning the youngest girl with flowers in the spring, holding a summer festival on Midsummer Eve, giving thanks for the harvest in the autumn, and throwing a holy wreath into the current in the winter.After a long period of rain the river may overflow its banks. This is a rare occurrence as our climate seldom guest to extremes. We are lucky in that only the lower fields, which make up a very small proportion of our farm, are effected by flooding, but other farms are less favorably sited, and flooding can sometimes spell disaster for their owners.One had winter we watched the river creep up the lower meadows. All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little. We were, however, worried about our nearest neighbors, whose farm was low lying and who were newcomers to the district. As the floods had put the telephone out of order, we could not find out how they were managing. From an attic window we could get a sweeping view of the river where their land joined ours, and at the most critical juncture we took turns in watching that point. The first sign of disaster was a dead sheep floating down. Next came a horse, swimming bravely, but we were afraid that the strength of the current would prevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted. Suddenly a raft appeared, looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a few hens, the dogs, cat, and bird in a cage. We realized that they must have become unduly frightened by the rising flood, for their house, which had sound foundations, would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged. The men of our family waded down through our flooded meadows with boathooks, in the hope of being able to grapple a corner of the raft and pull it out of the current towards our bank.
