How to open XLC file?
The main problem with Excel Chart is that the XLC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that XLC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Excel
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Excel application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Excel into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XLC with Microsoft Excel. Below is a list of programs that support the file XLC.
Programs to open XLC file
Remember to download programs supporting XLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLC file still does not use the Microsoft Excel program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XLC file with the Microsoft Excel program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Excel program, it is possible that Excel Chart requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XLC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XLC files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XLC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XLC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
