I believe what’s happening is that your browser isn’t able to open the Excel file directly, so instead it tries it as HTML, which ends up as the gibberish.

Try downloading the file (right-click and “Save target as” in IE) as an xlsx file to HD or a flash drive, or whatever. Then open it with an Excel file viewer (most are free) or, I use Libre Office Portable on a flash drive. (Libre Office Portable will work just fine as a “lite” Office suite on a HD as well.)

(Not trying to talk down at you - just trying to give multi-options to other readers. Obviously IT skill sets vary - mine being on the medium-low end!))

D1, maybe you can make mention of downloading options when you post these spreadsheets. (Feel free to use my text or modify / add.) Also would suggest this go on the daily live coronavirus thread to make it easier to find. Tomorrow, for example, I may not be online much. (”Mom care” duties.) Thanks!

Hi. This file is an Excel file. It's an xlsx file to be exact.

You will need to have an Excel file reader on your computer.

You may also be able to right click and save my file to your
computer and then read it online if you can find a place
that allows you to read your files online.

There's at least one place like that out there.

There are free Micorsoft Office like programs out there.

You should be able to find one if you look around.
