    Martine78390 AHA! This means the file association for xls(x) files is wrong IN WINDOWS.
    Open Windows Settings, Click on Apps. Click on Default Apps, click on "Choose default apps by file type" (See the screenshot).

    Then scroll down to .xls and click each of these in turn and assign them to Excel (see other screen-shot)

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your answer. Excel proposes me to register as an Excel file. This what I've done (screenshot).

 

But, the file is registered as a pdf file (see screenshot)

I can't understand what happens...

Can you help me?
