Compatability mode

Two of my Excel Spreadsheets have suddenly gone into compatabilty mode which makes them useless. How do I get back to standard excel format?

Please help

  • Your file is likely saved as .xls. Simply do a save-as to either xlsx, xlsm or xlsb format (whichever is appropriate)

    I need to remove compatibility mode.   I have saved the spreadsheet as xlsx file and reloaded it, but it still indicates I'm in compatibility mode.  

    All the help links refer to steps and functions that do not exist on version 2412.  TIA
