Sharepoint cannot open .xls files
Hello, I've got an organisation-wide issue where Sharepoint cannot open some (not all) .xls files I've uploaded to a directory. This issue seems to occur only in Sharepoint & I am able to open ...
When I am downloading the file I have no choice on which format to save it since I am downloading the files from an accounting platform and the format is preset. I've also tried to change the extension of the files on my computer and when I upload them they're still being read as .xls instead of . xlsx.
Unfortunately, it will be the file being generated by the accounting platform that is the issue. Renaming the file won't resolve the issue because it doesn't change the file format.
