New version Excel

oompeer 

I believe there might be a typo in your question. If you meant "xlsx," it refers to the file extension used for Excel workbooks in versions of Microsoft Excel 2007 and later. The "xlsx" extension is part of the Open XML file format introduced with Office 2007. If you meant something else, please provide more context or clarify your question.

First check if the format of the file is incorrect (possibly incorrectly entered manually), if incorrect correct it to .xlsx and try to reopen it.

If you are experiencing issues with a .xlsx file in a newer version of Excel, it could be due to compatibility or formatting differences.

Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Compatibility Mode:
• Make sure you are not saving the file in compatibility mode for an older Excel version. Save the file in the latest Excel format (XLSX).
2. Check Compatibility:
• Open the file in the newer version of Excel.
• Excel usually prompts you if there are compatibility issues. Review these prompts and make adjustments as needed.
3. Adjust Column Widths and Row Heights:
• Sometimes, differences in default column widths or row heights between versions can affect the appearance. Adjust these manually if needed.
4. Check Page Layout Settings:
• Differences in page layout settings may cause discrepancies. Go to the "View" tab and check the settings related to page layout.
5. Test on Different Machines:
• Open the file on a different machine with the same Excel version. This helps to determine if the issue is specific to your installation.
6. Update Excel:
• Ensure that your Excel application is up to date. Microsoft regularly releases updates that may address compatibility issues.
7. File Repair:
• If the issue persists, there might be corruption in the file. Try saving a copy of the file with a new name and see if the issue persists in the copy.
8. Use Compatibility Checker:
• Excel has a Compatibility Checker tool. Go to "File" -> "Info" -> "Check for Issues" -> "Check Compatibility."
9. Recreate the Workbook:
• If the problem persists, consider recreating the workbook in the new Excel version, copying data and formulas manually.

Remember to keep a backup of your file before making significant changes. AI was partially deployed to support the text.
