What file format to use for xlsx file?
I need to open some xlsx files and I can't figure out what file format to use.
I go to "spreadsheet" and then click on my file xlsx to open, but I am then asked to pick a file format and none of them seem to work.
Can you help me please?
Take care,
Susen

If OpenOffice is quibbling about the file tye nd asking for an import filter, it is possible the files have been corrupted, as OpenOffice would normally open these without query. Another possibility is that they are miss-labeled Excel files, stored not in internal xlsx format, but as comma separated files; there may be a filter offered for such.

Susen,
.xlsx is a proprietary file format for M$’s spreadsheet program. The easiest way I’ve found to deal with them is to convert them to .ods (open document spreadsheet format) through the online tool available at https://www.zamzar.com/. I believe they will convert five files at a time for free.
