Got a file which claims to be an excel file (.xls) but will not open as
an excel spreadsheet (Mac Office 2011 Excel)
When the file opens in excel, it is opened as if it was a plain text
file, when opened in Windows Office 2010 Excel it opens, and opens as a
spread sheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how to open this type of file in Excel (Mac)

Thanks for any help

I have tried changing the extension from .xls to:
- rtf
- xlsx
- html
- xml
none of the options will open as a spread sheet, and mostly it will not
open with the extension changes.
I can supply a bit more of the file's content - but - I can not provide
the document or most of it's content as it is financial info from
accounting.
