Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.
Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.
Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.

While we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

Is there any workaround that allows one to have multiple excel workbooks on BOX that allows one to also view them in an environment where they can interact. I am getting this notice when I try to interact with charts in my workbook: "This workbook contains external data connections or BI features that are not supported."
