Scenario 1: In a shared workbook, let’s say you have Sheet1 (visible) and Sheet2 (hidden). You have two active users in the workbook. If User1 unhides Sheet1, will Sheet1 also unhide for User2?

Scenario 2: assume both users are on Sheet1 and there’s a simple macro that says go to Sheet 2. If User 1 runs the macro, would User 2 also go to Sheet2?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
easiest way is to do that as a test with two machines for those scenarios > About the shared workbook feature > unsupported features. Your excel version isn't shown, there are other things possible with later versions
