Well, I guess the Excel file produced by SPSS is not quite correctly
organised, at least as 2007 sees it.

Do you have any earlier versions of Excel available to see if it opens
correctly in an earlier version? If so then it looks like a
compatibility problem in 2007; otherwise it looks like an SPSS problem.

If the data is all present and correct then I guess you could just
ignore the message.

Alternatively, if SPSS allows export in different formats that can be
read by Excel, try one of the others.
