Don't open Excel format

How to repair xls file? Microsoft Excel report me what file is not Excel format.

When an Excel file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try to repair the file manually in Excel, as follows:
(1) On the File menu, click Open.
(2) In the Open dialog box, select the file you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
(3) Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-corrupted-files-in-excel-HA001034656.aspx (for Excel 2003)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-HA010097017.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2007)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-HA010342840.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2010)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repair-a-corrupted-workbook-HA102749554.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2013)
2. Second, since Excel 2003, it provides a "Document Recovery" mechanism so that when Excel is shutdown abnormally, the Excel file being edited will be recovered when Excel is launched next time, which makes the file recovery possible.
See below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/recover-your-office-files-HP010354299.aspx?CTT=1
for more detailed information.
3. If 1 and 2 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Excel Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/excel-repair/
It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HMRC forms are in excel format, what do I need to open them ?

HMRC forms are in excel format, what do I need to open them ?

I am referring to the Gift Aid forms which are offered for excel users in one format and LibraOffice also. I am aware the general forms are in PDF but I require the interactive forms which I can fill in on line

App open Excel file using CSV format

Actually I would like to find app open Excel file and add some date and save it again under CSV format

Numbers will do that (using the export function). I'm sure many other Excel compatible apps will as well, but you will need to read the app store descriptions to verify. (I can verify that Quick Office does NOT).

Issue while opening Excel attachment send through FM

Hi All,
I had program in which i am sending mail along with Excel attachment using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. Mail is going fine with data in Excel attachment. But when i try to open the Excel it gives an Info message saying that "<b>You are trying to open (attachment name),is in different format than specified file extension Verify that file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening file. Do you want to open file now</b>". Then when i presses YES, Excel opens up with all data. I want to know how to avoid that info popup. Is there something has to be passed to FM or something has to be done to Excel like settings in EXCEL so that i can avoid that Info message coming.
Document type of attachment is gw_packing_list-doc_type = 'XLS'.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam

SharePoint PowerShell script to open Excel.Application on Windows server 2008 R2

Hi
I am building a PowerShell script to open an Excel file store on SharePoint document library. Sound simple enough but I just couldn't get over an error and hopefully someone can help give an answer here.
I have found many sample codes to use. All of the sample codes show that a new object must be created for Excel application
like ($Excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application) before that excel file can be read.
When I run this comand on a SharePoint server (Windows 2008 R2) either inside the script or by itself I keep getting the following error:
New-Object : Cannot load COM type Excel.Application.
+ $excel = New-Object <<<< -Com Excel.Application
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
For the test, I ran this comand on a Windows 7 with MS Office applications installed, then it ran fine.
Is that because I don't have Office application (Excel) installed on the server to run this or some services need to be turned on?
From the sample codes, look like I should be able to run it on the Server with SharePoint installed.
Thanks for any advice or solution to resolve my issue.
Swanl

So I'm assuming this won't return anything either?
Get-WMIObject Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting | ? {$_.VersionIndependentProgId -like 'excel.application'}
You need Office/Excel installed on the server because you're accessing those .DLLs for the automation functionality, but depending on what you're trying to do you may be able to use one of the office viewers:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10 although I'm not sure how much of the com (if any) is exposed in a viewer install. if Office is not possible due to
budget reasons, I believe there are several 3rd party providers who can produce a com object that will handle Excel formats.

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?
Regards;
Lionel

Save file to excel format

-the 3... version of SQL developer has one very important function (from my point of wiev) done unnecessarily difficult.
- in earlier versions (2...) was simply “export data, -> xls- “ and the out coming file was ..in any editable form of Excel – format
- I (personally) moved back using TOAD – main reason was because that sort of unnecessary inconvenience of transferring data to the format my clients wants -- it is boring
Eero M

I see your point, but I applaud the new Excel output options. I use this feature constantly, and the couple of extra default values and clinks are worth it. Options:
*Maybe just add a "finish" button to the Wizard so that it skips the next "tab" in it (basically defaults to the old Excel export technique). Even with the new features, I think that it is literally just one extra click compared to prior versions.
*Fix the issue where there is an empty column appended to the right of the data (this has been there in all versions to date). To see it, unload to Excel. Open the file in Excel and hit ctrl-end.
*Allow the system to use an Excel "template" so that it uses default fonts, colors, etc. Within the "template", allow you to pick the worksheet and cell that the output goes to (e.g. Summary!A4).
*Fix the date issues, so that when it is exported to Excel, Excel treats dates as real dates not strings
*Support the newer Excel 2007 file format (this has been around for 3 years now)
*Make the SQL easier to read (great feature, difficult to read it). We use SQL Developer to handle a lot of ad hoc queries, and it is convenient to have the SQL worksheet since it saves documenting and debugging time dramatically. The SQL output that is shown on the "Unload Summary" looks right, but when it gets exported, the carriage returns don't display nicely.
All of the above have been entered into the "Exchange" before. Obviously, we can't expect everything to be done by Oracle, but it is great to see them adding capability to this area of the tool. I'd probably try making an extension, but I don't know Java.

Numbers can't open Excel files generated by SQL Reporting Services

Hi
I have an issue with Numbers '09 not being able top open certain Excel files. The Excel files in question are XLS files (not XLSX) and come from SQL Reporting Services. They open fine with Excel on the Mac and on Windows - but Numbers on both the Mac and iPad pops up with an "Invalid file format" when trying to open them.
I see this as a problem with Numbers and would like to send Apple an example file so they can look at improving their Excel file support but I can't find anywhere to do this.
Do Apple monitor these forums? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Thanks
I compared the beginning of your file to the beginning of two XL ones which are on my machine (in fact, they are files created with openOffice).
You may see that there are many differences.
They may explain the different behaviour.
If someone is able to drive Excel with an AppleScript,
he may write a script opening your document in Excel,
saving it
opening the newly saved file in Numbers.
As I don't own Excel, I ignore its required syntax so I can't write a clean script.
If the XL's syntax is the same than the Numbers one, this quick and dirty one may do the trick :
set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "Treatment Report No Header.xls"
tell application "System Events"
set aName to name of disk item aFile
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
open file aFile
save document 1 (* maybe save document aName *)
close document 1 (* maybe close document aName *)
end tell
tell application "Numbers"

Installing Control Panel 2/3 causes problems in opening Excel sheets

After installing the control panel 3.0, I can't open Excel sheets properly anymore. A message says that the Excel sheet contains corrupted data and Excel can try to restore them. After confirming this, the excel sheet shows opened but all formating is gone.
I had this issue yet with Control Panel 2.0. After some research on the web I found out that the problem is caused by the CP for Windows. I then switched back to CP V 1.1.4 and the excel sheets opened properly again.
Thanks for any advise. I'm using Windows 7 and Excel/Outlook 2007.

Can't open excel 97 with numbers

I am unable to open an .xls file with numbers '09 v2.3 (554). I have not had this problem before although this file is Excel '97 it is one of my earliest files from my PC days. I recieve the error message "This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel ’97 or later can be opened." Don't understand as it is '97.
I've tried to open other files from the same folder unsucesfully and I can't even open the word .doc files.
Thanks, any ideas much appreciated.

I'd suggest downloading one of the open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, then re-saving the result in a more recent Excel format, to be opened in Numbers.
Or you might stop at that first step, and use that application to work with these files.
Links are to download sites. All three request donations. Neo requires a recent donation to download the most current version.

Opening Excel files in Numbers 08

I have just downloaded iworks08 to my new macbook pro. I have a trial edition of microsoft excel for mac downloaded as well. I have noticed that I am not able to open excel files in numbers 08. Is this true? Is it not feasible to open excel files in numbers o8? In addition, I have not been able to open numbers files in excel. Is this also true? I have used iwork 09 trial, and noticed that you are able to open and create excel files. I assume this was part of the upgrading from 08 to 09 iworks.
Could someone please confirm the above questions? In addition, is there any way to open and/or create excel files in numbers 08? Thank you.

It depends of the format used to save them.
I have not been able to open numbers files in excel.
Normal, the default format is Numbers only.

There are few changes on this subject.
Is there any way to open and/or create excel files in numbers 08?
For open see response above.
To create Excel file with Numbers '08, use the Export menu item.
I wish to add that with every copy of iWork '08, Apple deliver well done PDF *_User Guides_*.

How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

Hi all,
I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?

Hi,
I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.

Joe

Possible cause of "Cannot open Excel file error"?

Hi!
Here's my problem: one of our LabView applications creates .xls Excel
files. However some of these files are too big to be opened into
Excel, so we need to open these files in DIAdem to analyse the data (in
fact, even the smaller ones often need to be analysed in DIAdem).
The problem is that DIAdem seems totally unable to open Excel files,
small or big, created by our LabView application or not. The
error message appearing when we try to import Excel files is "Cannot
open Excel file"... which doesn't give any clue about the cause of the
error. My question is: what may cause this error to
occur? I searched both the help and the website without finding
useful information.
The computer is running on WinXP with OfficeXP installed, and we are
using DIAdem 9.0. If additionnal information is required, just
let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I did some experiments this morning. First of all, the file I had
created using Excel that I tried to open yesterday just opened. I
don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but, for now, it's
working. Now, for my LabView-created files, I still get the same
error message. However, if I open the files in Excel and try to
save, a warning message appears, saying that the file may not be
compatible with the text (separator:tabulation) format. If I
ignore the warning and save the file as a .xls file, I can now import
it into DIAdem. The problem is probably that my LabView-created
files are not "real" .xls files. Now, this is a problem, because
I can't open some of the bigger files in Excel without having the data
truncated (Excel has a maximum of 65536 rows); last year, using DIAdem
8.X (I don't remember the exact version we had), I could open those
files without any trouble... Is there any way to get those files to be
opened with DIAdem 9.0? I attached one of those files if it may help.
Thanks!
Maxime B.
