By default Excel should save files in the .xml or .xmlx format (the latter being the default format for Excel 2007 & 2010). Other common formats that Excel accepts include .cvs and .txt. If you have that (or any other format) this is the easiest way to change the format:

  • Open the file in Excel. Select "Save As" from the tile menu/office button (depending on your version of Excel). When you're prompted to select a location and file name, change the file type (using the drop down menu at the bottom of the screen) to Excel workbook (if you're using a version older than 2007) or Excel 97 - 2003 workbook (if you using 2007 or newer).
There other methods, but they require slightly higher degrees of technical proficiency than this one.
