Worksheet seems locked, cells inaccessible (as if worksheet is graphic block), but I didn't lock cel

How can I access, edit and sort cells? The entire worksheet has the 4-direction arrow cursor instead of selection cursor.

 

I tried to upload .xlsx version, but it wouldn't be accepted.

I saved it as Excel 1997-365 version, .xls: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CEf9fIqdLV4ZppsScpA0c-nJmP0x2T5U/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101482772217907437318&rtpof=true&sd=true

    What you see is a picture: a screenshot of a worksheet that sits on top of an empty sheet.

    If you click once, then press Delete, the picture will disappear.

      I tried your advice, Hans. When I delete the graphic, you are correct, and there is a blank worksheet. However, the spreadsheet's cells used to have active data. 

      I exported numerous csv files and rebuilt the original Excel Workbook with my data.

      And, again, the data turned into a graphic file, which I cannot edit or import into another app.

      What should I do?

        You must have done something to replace the sheet contents with a picture. I don't know what...
