I installed Office 2010 on my laptop but couldn't open excel files and tried various recommendation from google search but nothing straightforward. So unistalled 2010 and reinstalled 2007, but I can't open excel in 2007 as well now. This is just crazy being not able to open excel files in excel. No wonder Microsoft going down the drain.
Has anyone experienced this and have a simple solution.
Cannot open Excel files in Excel! How crazy is that
It sounds to me like you have screwed up the file associations.
Find a spreadsheet file (.xls and .xlsx for Excel 2010), right click on it and select 'Properties'
You will see a section that says 'open with'. Make sure this is set to Microsoft Excel.
