    Instructions
    1
    Open the file in Lotus 1-2-3, then click "File," then "Save As" and save the file as a "WK4" file.


    2
    In Microsoft Excel, click "File," then click "Open," then locate the WK4 file on your computer.


    3
    Ensure that the "Transition formula evaluation" check box is checked (this should happen automatically).


    4
    Click "Open." Excel will open the file and convert the Lotus 1-2-3 formulas to Excel formulas.

    You asked how to convert a lotus file. I gave you how to do this. I assumed you had Excel since you mentioned it.

    I DO have excel but cannot open the .123 file as it is not supported. You state 'Open the file in Lotus 1-2-3' but I don't have Lotus 1-2-3

    Instructions
    1
    Locate the Lotus .123 file that you wish to open. If it has a “.123” appendage, you need to rename it to have a “.wk4” appendage. This will allow Excel to read the file.

    2
    Right click the Lotus 123 (.wk4) file.

    3
    Select “Open with…” and select Microsoft Excel. Excel will open the file with all associated information and formatting. If you wish to convert to a native Excel file, merely save it, making sure to select the Excel format.
