Android provides a spreadsheet similar to Excel called Google Sheets. You might want to consider opening your file using Google Sheets.

If you want view data (no edit) you can use this extension

[REBORN !] TableView Extension Versions 3&4 (pre nb191) and 5 by @Ken

as the Appybuilder community has been closed, all extensions published there are lost... except of those, who are still available at web.archive.org By accident I found version 3 of the tableview extension on my computer, so I guess it would be ok, if I upload it here into this thread... @Ken meanwhile agreed to provide his extension here.

I think you can do that using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.sheets&hl=en_US&gl=US . I haven't tried it.
