Can't open Excel file containing Activex controls

My phone is Lumia 950, I have a few Excel files with Activex Controls, I tried to open these file on my phone and it said: This version of Microsoft Excel can't open workbooks with: ActiveX controls, Form controls.
Can't someone please tell me how to solve this problem. Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, you'll need to wait until Microsoft adds Activex control support to Excel Mobile. That feature is not supported at this time.
