All of a sudden Excel on my Android will not open any saved Excel spreadsheets

[Android Central Question]

I was working in my main Excel spreadsheet which is my budget and after formatting some additional/blank cells I saved the file because I set the file up for September and obviously we're still in August. I saved it and when I tried to open it up again XL refused to open the file and ANY of the other 4 Excel spreadsheets I currently have.

Just tried it on a Tab S4 and S10 and both open just fine with Excel. Do you get any errors? Can you open them in another app (like Google Sheets or another Office-like suite)? Have you tried opening them in a computer?

I spoke with Verizon they took control over my phone and did a bunch of stuff and they did it too quickly for me to follow along and when I got off the phone with them I tried to open up my budget spreadsheet and lo and behold it opened but only that one time after I closed it and tried to reopen it it refused I tried my other spreadsheets Excel wouldn't open it last night I got frustrated and I use file manager to find my budget spreadsheet and when I clicked on it Excel opened it and it's been working ever since so either I'm crazy or completely stupid but I don't know what in the world is going on

Well, hope it doesn't, but if it fails again... let us know and we might help. I'm guessing it's a file association thing, but might be something else. Glad you got it working for now
