How Do I Open Xls Files in Windows 10?
Contents

XLS files can be opened with any version of Excel. If you don’t have Excel, you can use Microsoft’s free Excel Viewer, which supports opening and printing the file as well as copying data out of it. Several free Excel alternatives can be used to both open and edit XLS files, including WPS Office and OpenOffice Calc.

Why can’t I open XLS files?

When third-party programs save an Excel format file, they sometimes use the wrong extension. In that case, try renaming the extension of the problem file from XLS to XLSX or vice versa. Then try to open the file in Excel again. An incorrect file extension can be the reason why an Excel file won’t open.

Which app is required to open XLS file?

Documents to Go supports password-protected XLS files. If you are using an Android phone, you can download the Google Drive app. It offers more functionality for Android devices, including the ability to upload files from your phone.
