Excell for Mac: how can I retrieve this file!! I just finished inputting data for the past 3 hours. Now excell says it is a corrupted file. How do I get it back???? (I hate microsoft!) This is the message I get: "Excel cannot open the file '~$Visitors Log for 2022.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."

Cannot open Numbers file in Excel Suddenly in the last 6 days I can no longer open a Numbers file in Excel. The "Open with Excel" option is missing when right clicking on the Numbers file icon. If I search for Excel app I get an error that Excel thinks the Numbers file is corrupt. This happens on ALL Numbers files. Even if I create a new Numbers file from scratch with just the word test in the first cell and save as Numbers and try to open in Excel it says corrupt. I have rebooted multiple times. I have deleted the Excel cache folder and restarted. I have un-installed both MS Office for Mac and Mac Numbers and downloaded both apps fresh and re-installed. Nothing works. I can open .CSV in both apps no problem. I can open an Excel file in Numbers with no problem. The issue is only happening when trying to open a Numbers file in Excel. I have just spent 1 hour on a call with Microsoft Office support and they cannot identify the issue. I am running Monterey 12.6.2, Numbers 12.2.1 and Excel 16.68. All of these are the latest versions. All three say "software up to date" when I check for updates. As recently as last Friday I could open Numbers files in Excel by right clicking and choosing open in Excel. This issue has started sometime since Friday Dec 16th.

Is your CSV file coming from the internet or an email?

Also, let's try something. Create a new spreadsheet in Excel, fill it with bogus data and save it as a CSV. Can you open that CSV file in Excel?
