Excel File type

Every file I create in Excel is saving with an excel file extension but the file icon is PDF so I cannot sent the file to anyone else to use.

  • Verify Extension: Ensure the file extension is .xlsx.
    Change File Associations: Adjust the default program settings for the file type.
    Re-save File: Save the file again as an Excel Workbook.
    Check for Conflicts: Make sure no other program is incorrectly handling .xlsx files.
    Repair Installation: Reinstall or repair Office if necessary.
    Reset Associations: Reset file associations to default settings.
