Welcome to Windows Central.

You would need to download the attachment first by tapping on the attachment on your email. Once downloaded, the icon of the attachment will change, i.e. it will change to the MS Excel-derived icon from a blank-sheet-icon. Tap on that downloaded attachment - you should be automatically be brought to the MS Office Excel installed on your phone, with the Excel file opened.
