I am taking Coursera classes that require me to open samples spreadsheets. When I sign into my paid annual Microsoft account it cannot access their files. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi!

    What error message appears when trying to access the spreadsheets? Does it show an access denied error?

    Are these spreadsheets provided by Coursera? For example, does it send a link to access them, or do you download the spreadsheet and open it?

    If it's an access denied error, you should check if the email registered with Coursera is the same email you use for your paid Microsoft plan. If everything is okay, it may be that Coursera hasn't granted access to the spreadsheet.
