    It needs downloading and opening in Excel on a computer I'm afraid.

    That is a restriction from Microsoft (as its via Excel).

    Sorry to hear about this Joshua ( JoshuaVance) - is this error coming from Dropbox? Have you tried contacting Microsoft directly? 

     

    Let me know of any updates!
