Excel cannot open the file 'Wheelchair 2022-05-13_01 requests.xlsx' because the file format or file

Copper Contributor

To any Excel experts:

 

The error I receive is:

Excel cannot open the file 'Wheelchair 2022-05-13_01 requests.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension
matches the format of the file.

 

Can anyone open my file?

Here is the directory containing all the associated files.

NOTE: The file "Wheelchair 2022-05-12_01 requests.xlsx" is the previous version of the file 'Wheelchair 2022-05-13_01 requests.xlsx' and it still opens.

I have tried to repair the corrupted file with most of the available options.

I have tried to add the EVERYONE permission group.

I have tried to change the file extension from .xlsx to .xls and then open it.

The file Wheelchair 2022-05-13_01 requests.xlsx is actually a PDF file, not a workbook. If you change the extension from .xlsx to .pdf, you will be able to open it with your PDF reader application.

Since it is a PDF file, you should be able to copy/paste the contents back into an Excel workbook, but there is no way to recover the formulas (if any), since those are not saved in a PDF file.

@Hans Vogelaar Somewhere on my system, the actual .xlsx may be hiding...

Thanks. Dough...
