Hey folks.
Just bought lumia 930 and I wanted to download one excel document form mail but I failed to open it because it says excel doesnt recognize the format of file "attachment" . Its normal .xls document. Please help !

Office on WP doesn't open .xls files. You need to have a .xlsx version to be able to open it. If you have a PC you can use Office Online, it's free.
