Cannot open Excel file - "too many different cell formats"

R

Richard Bailey

When trying to load an excel file it will not allow me to open it and shows
the message in a separate window " too many different cell formats".
I am led to believe (after a bit of investigation) that the file is now too
large and needs to be slimmed down. This is fine, but I need to be able to
open it first! Is there a way to open this file?
Please help. This spreadsheet is important to me. Thank you.
