Skyler set us a note about her Microsoft Excel spreadsheet not opening:

“I work as an analyst and have a significant number of old .xls files were created in the previous versions of Excel. Now that i have upgraded to the new version, Excel 365 won’t open the existing files telling me that they are corrupted and can’t be opened. Is there any possible way to associate or convert Excel 2003 files to/in version 2016 or 2019, so they’ll open up correctly? I have invested significant amount of work in those files and would hate starting all the work from scratch :-(.

Converting xls files to 2016/2019

Compatibility Mode allows to convert Office files so they become usable in later versions.

Two caveats with using Compatibility on your existing xls workbooks:

• It changes the layout of your document or spreadsheet.
• It is not reversible – once the file is converted to the new format; in this case – .xlsx; you won’t be able to revert the file to the .xls version. Therefore our recommendation is to backup the file by simply creating a copy of it before you go ahead and follow the steps below:

Fine with the two caveats above? Please proceed as following to convert your workbook to version 2016:

1. Open your existing spreadsheet.
2. First off, secure your current work by making a backup of the existing spreadsheet by saving it with a different file name. You might want to add the suffix before_converting to the file name (File>>Save As>>Set the new file name with the suffix and select the current file type)
3. Now, hit File.
4. In the Compatibility Mode section, Hit Convert.
5. If prompted, hit OK
6. Your old spreadsheet will go through the conversion process and modified to version 2016/2013.
