Hello friends,

The file was zipped, and when I tried to extract those data an error occurred saying unable to open file.

The file extension is under .Xls.

Can you give me some advice on how to open those files?

Hello Timothy,

The compressed file you downloaded maybe;

  1. Not completely Downloaded. Solution: You need to redownload it and extract it again.
  2. Zipped File Corrupted. Solution: The same as above. There's no way to fix the corrupt .xls.
  3. The file may be compressed with the latest compression software: Solution: Update your compressor/extracting software.

You may consider downloading different Compression software. Like 72 ZIp, Win Zip, WINRAR, Power Archiver.

Here a suggestion;

  • If you have a .ZIP file format, you better extract it from 72.zip or WINZIP.these compression agent works best with this extension file.
  • If you have .RAR file format. You better extract it WINRAR or POWER ARCHIVER. This works best with this extension file.

Take a google search to find more Compression Agents available for you to download. It maybe free or a trial version. 

Hope this helps you. Happy extracting.

Your problem is not clear enough. If you were able to extract those .XLS files from the zipped folder this is how you can view those files.

1. You should have either MS Excel or MS Excel Viewer in order to view those files according to your preference.

2. Open one of the applications. (MS Excel is better).

3. Click on "File" menu and then select "Open".

4. Browse to the folder where .XLS file is located.

5. Click on the file and then click "Open".

If you are having a problem in extracting or unzipping the file containing the .XLS files, the problem maybe in the original file. It should either be corrupted/damaged or password protected in case there is no solution unless you have to download it again. If the file is RAR file is damaged you can use the file repair option in RAR extractor application.

I’m not sure if you are confused with the different file extensions and file formats but “.xls” is not an archive. It is not a compressed file created with file compressors like WinZip and WinRAR. The “.xls” file extension belongs to Microsoft Excel. This file extension is the default saving format of Microsoft Office Excel 2003.

Beginning with Microsoft Office Excel 2007 onwards, the default saving format is “.xlsx” but it can still open the old “.xls” format. If you have a file with this file extension, you cannot use a file compressor to extract its contents because, in the first place, there is nothing to extract. To open the file, you need to use Microsoft Excel.

If you don’t have Microsoft Excel and installing is not an option, you can use the free alternative from Microsoft. Go to the Free Microsoft Office Online home page or go directly to the Microsoft Office Home page. As a prerequisite, you need to have a Microsoft account to login.

In the past years, you need to purchase your copy of Microsoft Office before you can use any of its application but today, Microsoft offers a free version online without the need to install it offline on your computer. The free Microsoft Office online offers the following applications:

  • Word
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • OneNote
  • Sway
  • Outlook
  • People
  • Calendar
  • OneDrive
  • Forms
  • Skype
