Excel opens with a blank screen

I have one Excel file that has a problem. I try to open it as normal and get back a blank screen and all the buttons greyed out. Have tried several "fixes" but to no avail.

 

If someone has solved this problem I would appreciate that advice.

    Hi John

     

    As a workaround, it might be possible to get to the content by File > Open from within Excel.

     

    Otherwise, are you able to upload the file in question for review (assuming there's nothing hugely sensitive with the file contents)?

     

    Good luck

    File may be huge with lot of data.

    There could be condition formatting in the file.
