Windows Central Question

I just upgraded from Lumia 920 (WP 8.1) to Lumia 950 (...586.29) and I cannot open some Excel files, which are opening on Lumia 920 withou any problems. It is an e-mail attachment, but I have also tried to upload it to OneDrive, but that did not help. Each time when I try to open the file, I get the following error message:
"This version of Microsoft Excel cannot open workbooks with: Range protection"

However, there is no protection in the Excel file - it is not protected by a password.

I tried to uninstall Excel and install it back again, but that did not help.

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround or is the opening of some files a premium feature now?
