I am having problems opening excel files. Error "file format or file extension is not valid". I edited this file using microsoft office 2019 pro plus preview version on another computer, then saved it to the hard drive to bring to my computer. But on my computer there is the above error, now I don't know how to fix that error, because the data in it is very important to me. Thanks everyone!
P/s: I have tried to change the extension from .xlsx to .xls or .csv, but it still not working.
