Goal

When we use the List Export function in Oracle Sales Cloud, by going to SUI->Accounts->Actions->Export List, we get following error message in MS Excel:

"The file format and extension of 'Accounts.xls' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?"

Why is this happening?
