Default Opening a spreadsheet in excel

You can do this but you need to have some basic knowledge of VBA. You need
to write some code to open a new workbook and copy data from the original
source into the new workbook. Try looking for VBA examples on the net.

of Excel from it.

Then open the files either from Excel, or via Windows Explorer.
