I've now checked the associations and they're all correct. Still didn't fix
the problem but thanks for responding.

I would check your file associations.

Go to Control PanelDefault ProgramsAssociate a file type or protocol with
a program.

Look for the extension you are tyring to open (.xlsx, .csv, etc.). Make sure
it's associated with Excel. If not, change it so it is.
