Yes, it is possible to create a shortcut from SharePoint to your local PC in order to use Excel activities in StudioX. By creating a shortcut, you can easily access and manipulate Excel files stored in SharePoint directly from StudioX without the need for manual file transfers.

To create a shortcut from SharePoint to your local PC, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Open the SharePoint site or document library where the Excel file is located.
  2. Locate the Excel file you want to work with and right-click on it.
  3. In the context menu, select “Copy shortcut” or a similar option that copies the file’s URL.
  4. Go to your local PC and navigate to the desired location where you want to create the shortcut.
  5. Right-click in the folder and select “New” followed by “Shortcut.”
  6. In the shortcut creation window, paste the SharePoint file’s URL that you copied earlier.
  7. Click “Next” and provide a name for the shortcut.
  8. Click “Finish” to create the shortcut.
