Issues Opening QEF Files

Microsoft Excel Removed

You attempt to load your QEF file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The QEF File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Excel isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your QEF file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your QEF file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Excel

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Excel installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Excel Query File type. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Excel from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Excel Query File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Excel than you have on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your QEF, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Excel version on your computer can cause problems opening QEF files.
