Step 1. Install Microsoft Excel

Programs to open XLSHTML file
Remember to download programs supporting XLSHTML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLSHTML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLSHTML file still does not use the Microsoft Excel program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XLSHTML file with the Microsoft Excel program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Excel with Microsoft Excel HTML Spreadsheet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLSHTML file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLSHTML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLSHTML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLSHTML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XLSHTML file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XLSHTML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XLSHTML 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 XLSHTML file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XLSHTML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLSHTML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLSHTML file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
