hi,
possibly not. I have not worked with sap in about 6-7 years so things may
have change but when i did work with sap, sap export data as a flat file ie
plain ascii text.
i suspect that whoever is emailing you the "sap data" is importing it into
an application they have and emailing their application file which excel
doesn't recognize.

my guess.

Hi ,

In my case i am getting excle filr from SAP in my out look mail box directly.
when i am trying to open the file i am getting below message

The file is not in a recognizable format

• If you know the file is from another program which is incompatible with
Microsoft excel click cancel, then open this file in its original
application. If you want to open the file later in Microsoft excel. Save it
in a format that is compatible, such as text format.
• If you suspect the file is damaged, click help for more information about
solving the problem.
• If you still want to see what text is contained in the file, click OK.
Then click finish in the text import wizard

so i just want to confirm . is this message is providing by excle to avoid
external threat.
