Re: exporting frequency table in Excel format

Hello Shaikhah,

I just tried to save a frequency report as an excel file. When I opened the file in excel I got the message "The file format and the extension of ... do not match...Do you want to open it anyway?".

If I say yes to that prompt I am able to open the file in excel? Are you not able to?

I am on a PC rather than a Mac so if you are unable to open the file it might be related to that. I will need to check what happens when I try to open the file on Mac.

As for why that message is appearing, I don't have an answer at this point but it sounds like there is an issue with how the excel file is structured.

Best regards,

Jeff
