Can you upload the file to Nabble or post a link to it?

Since you are seeing xml/html tags I suspect the is not xls but xlsx. I 
would make a copy of the file and change the copy's file extension to 
xlsx and then try opening it. The xls format in an MS binary format 
while the xlsx is format similar to ods. Both xlsx and ods are 
containers with xml files within the container.
