bcaldoc 2 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I updated Evernote today and suddenly I cannot access an Excel Note. I have kept all my passwords in an Excel sheet for the past few years. Works well for me. Today I cannot access my excel spreadsheet with all my passwords unless I upgrade for $12 per month. I am livid and will never use Evernote again. Please tell me I have made some mistake and this is not true! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,072 Posted December 19, 2022 Level 5* Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hi. Device? OS? Evernote version? Are you a subscriber? When you say "cannot access" exactly what happens when you try? Is there an error message? What does it say? 1 Link to comment
bcaldoc 2 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hi All devices, OS on my iphone and Windows on my computer. Latest version and update. Yes a subscriber (Evernote plus, $80 per year). Excel spreadsheet with my passwords obscured on all devices by this: Unlock this view and more View Excel and CSV files directly in your notes. Upgrade Upgrade costs $11.99 per month. Never had a problem until the latest update. I have managed to email the excel spreadsheet to myself and now I am switching to Joplin (very easy to import Evernote notebooks). This is so wrong in so many ways! Link to comment

Viewing an excel spreadsheet in-line in a note (like you can view a PDF and images inline) has only just recently been added as a new feature to the Evernote Professional level subscription. You've never been able to view a spreadsheet inline before. You can still attach an excel spreadsheet to a note and open it with Excel just like you've always been able to. Release notes from: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061990413-Previous-release-notes-for-Evernote-for-Windows You just need to change the view type from 'Preview' to 'Title' And then you get this: 1 Link to comment
bcaldoc 2 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Ok thanks and phew! I was horrified to see that I could not read my spreadsheet. Passwords are vital! It would be nice to be able to change it in Evernote but I am sure not going to pay $12 per month to be able to do that. 1 Link to comment
Cheri Cernokus 0 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I’m having the same problem. I have been paying 799 a month for the personal level of Evernote end. It puts the same note across my Excel document and I cannot open it. Link to comment
bcaldoc 2 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ignore the banner ad and you can still open the excel note. Choose the three dots and "open" Link to comment
tbbrick 1 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 How do we get rid of the Upgrade prompt? Link to comment
bcaldoc 2 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Basically you don't. But just ignore it. Click on the title (something.xlsx) and three dots will come up giving you and option to open the file. Link to comment
bernardhk 0 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks bcaldoc but that's not really the point. The "Unlock this view" screen is an annoying advertisement and disrespectful for users such as myself who have been supporting the product for many many years. It has confused some of my co workers who have thought that they cannot proceed with work we are engaged in. I fail to see why Evernote management think that this is a supportive way to work with their clients. Evernote should remove this advertising. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,829 Posted January 30, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Don‘t tell us (we couldn‘t agree more), tell EN. Feedback drops at the desk of PM, support tickets at the support team. Both will probably listen when enough of us tell them to show these marketing geniuses the way to the exit. Just wasting oxygen while annoying users already subscribed. Link to comment
bcaldoc 2 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 I absolutely agree 100%!! Link to comment
Mike P 2,981 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I totally agree that it is annoying and unhelpful. However, as @Boot17explains above, you can change it from Preview to Title so you only need to see it once per note. Still annoying I know but it does limit the pain. It should simply default to title and then display the advert if we try to change it to "Preview" - that seems reasonable to me, rather then having to change each attachment to Title when I add it. 4 Link to comment
