There might be a problem with the data model inside the file (PowerPivot and or PowerQUery model). Do any of these tricks work to get data out of the file (I know you already tried a few):

If all else fails, I'd be happy to try and open the files if you send them to me. My email address is at the bottom of the aforementioned web page.

There should not be any problem with the file since it is working fine in my Excel online along with in colleagues system. 

You may think there isn't a problem, but given that you are unable to load the file on Excel desktop, there certainly is a problem with the file.

@Rohit_Agrawal did you find a solution for the issue? I'm dealing with it now and did the exact same steps that you tried in your initial post there, but same result: some files just don't get open in Excel desktop app.
