Excel files no longer supported in Studio 2021

I am no longer able to open Excel files in Studio 2021. It doesn’t matter what version of Xcel the file is, I always get the error message that this file type is not supported. The Support Department told me to check for updates, which I did, but it still doesn’t work. Any ides?

    I am no longer able to open Excel files in Studio 2021.

    The last update for 2021 was 5th of July 2022, so any changes here are not going to be because of a change in the product.  The most likely reasons are probably:

    • the file isn't really an Excel file - so can you open it in Excel?
    • your project template is somehow corrupted,
    • you inadvertently disabled the Excel filetype in the project template

    If you can open the file in Excel, take a copy of it and then delete everything from within the file apart from one word.  See if you can open it?  If you can't can you share the Excel with only one word in it by attaching to this forum reply?

    Check which project template you use for your projects, and make sure all the Excel filetypes are enabled.

    Close Studio, delete this file, restart Studio and try again.
