I exported a report to Excel. It is an asp file. I can’t open it? – blast ramp help desk

An .asp file is typically an Active Server Pages (ASP) script, not an Excel file. If you exported a report and got an .asp file instead of .xls or .xlsx, here are some things to try:

1. Check the File Extension

Sometimes, web-based reporting tools generate files with incorrect extensions. Try renaming the file:

Right-click the file → Rename
Change .asp to .xls or .xlsx
Open it in Excel

2. Open with Excel Manually

Right-click the file → Open With → Excel
If prompted, choose "All Files" in the file type dropdown
If the data looks scrambled, try opening it in Notepad to see if it's HTML or CSV.
