I'm getting the ".xlsx files are supported but something went wrong" error when previewing my files
I keep getting the message
.xlsx files are supported but something went wrong.
So....now its working. I think it's a strategy called "just looking at it long enough and persisting". Or that other strategy when the IT expert finally comes and stands behind you as you try, once again - and of course it all works. 😂
I think the excel file is very big so I'm going to get rid of some material from years ago, archive it for audits, but have a smaller file that I work on.
Thanks for your help and at least I know about this community of help now.
best wishes

Hi denise31, and thanks for posting this here.
Is your Excel file password-protected perhaps?
Are you receiving this error for all Excel files, or even Word documents and PowerPoint presentations?
Finally, is it possible the file you’re trying to preview is more than 40MB in size?
Keep me updated, and we’ll have a look.
Hi
no not password protected
All excel files on this dropbox (it's specific to my daughters NDIS Plan) which I access via the web won't open
I downloaded the file then uploaded it to my personal dropbox which I guess is through an app on my computer and it works ok

Hey there denise31 - sorry to jump in here, but could you clear your browser's cache or try another browser and let us know if you still get the same results?
If you do, we'd appreciate a screenshot of the error you get too.
