Output is in 'File' format, not Excel format

I selected the output of my process flow to be an excel file, however the output on my desktop is in a 'File' type rather than Excel.

 

I can click on the below file and "Open With" then choose excel, however I'd like the output to be in excel so I can simply double click on it to open it. 

 

Has anyone had this issue before?

 

(My process flow is very simple and I simply clicked the output to be excel as shown further below.)

Hi @AverySimecka ,


You need to add .xlsx at the end of the name file. I was able to replicate this issue when I removed the xlsx extension from the file name.

 

So instead of fsdf you should have fsdf.xlsx|||Sheet1

Thank you. I did not realize I needed to manually type .xlsx following the name of the output spreadsheet, but am thankful this was an easy fix.
