Unable to play games with Excel 2019
Hi, I am unable to play the games with Microsoft Excel 2019.
The files have extensions viz. xls, xlsx and xlsm.
I have attached one sample file for your immediate reference.
Looking forward for any solution.
Thank you,
Pravin Gunjal.

If I may assume here, these files would have to be in .xlsm format in order to work.
The associated VBA programming is missing to make these games work.
Probably, I suspected again, the files are accidentally saved in .xls and .xlsx format, although the VBA coding is not saved in these formats.
If I may recommend, save the files again and note the format extension, .xlsm or .xlm
