the Excel is locked
I have been working in an excel document and when I saved it changes the color of the icon from green excel icon to an empty icon. Is there any possibility to open it?
It looks like you saved the file in OpenDocument Spreadsheet format, not in Excel one. As for the file with blank icons these are temporary ones. You may try to open them if copy/paste and rename with Excel extension. However, if your file is on OneDrive you may check version history for the file and restore previous version.

Thank you very much for your answer. The files were saved as ods. I partly could open them.
