Cant open xlsx file

Ever been sent an Excel file by your friend which does not open?.
Do you see this message, whenever you try to open an Excel File?

"This file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Excel. Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file"

Ever got frustrated that you are not able to open an important Excel file that was sent to you?. Same has happened to me too. I really assume that unwanted tensions like this easily add up to increased Blood Pressure and health problems.
