Hi Narayandatta!

I am Shakiru, an independent advisor and a user like you, and I am glad to be helping you out today.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble opening Excel File with macro.

Please try the following:

* Enable macro content: If you trust the source of the .xlsb file and believe it to be safe, you can choose to enable the macro content manually. After opening the file, go to the "File" tab, click on "Options," and select "Trust Center" from the left-hand menu. Then, click on the "Trust Center Settings" button and choose "Enable all macros" or "Enable all macros with notification." Keep in mind that enabling macros from an untrusted source can pose a security risk, so exercise caution.

* Verify the source of the file: Ensure that you know and trust the source of the .xlsb file. If the file is from an unknown or untrusted source, it's recommended not to enable macros. Files from untrusted sources may contain malicious code that can harm your computer or compromise your data.

* Scan for malware: Before enabling macros or opening any file from an untrusted source, it's advisable to run a thorough malware scan on your computer. This helps to ensure that your system is not already infected and can mitigate potential risks.

Kindly let me know, if you require additional assistance, I will be glad to help further.

Best Regards, Shakiru
