You just rename it to have .xls or .xlsx at the end.
(This is why operating systems that don't embed MIME types within files are fundamentally brain-damaged.)

From the thread title, I thought this was going to be about covert activities.
I tried making a copy and renaming it like that it didn't seem to work?
Maybe I need the K.I.S.S. system on this?
I had just come from TNZ and honestly, my first thoughts were of religious conversion.
Is your computer set to hide file extensions? If so, you will need to change that setting first so that you can see the extension.

You'll know you've been successful if the icon changes.

I honestly don't know?
In that case, it's a good bet that extensions are hidden. That's the default in Windows (I'm assuming you're using some version of Windows, anyway), and unless you changed the setting they're probably still hidden.
Open up Windows Explorer and look at any directory. You may need to Do you see file extensions? Is each file name followed by a ".exe", ".xls", ".mp3", ".jpg", ".pdf", or something like that, or is it just the file name with nothing following?
If you don't see the file extensions, the way to change it is different depending on which version of Windows you're using. It will be somewhere under "options" or something like that, under the "view" tab. Uncheck the box that says "hide extensions for known file types".

farmkid is right. Follow his suggestion to make file extensions visible, then you can change the file type easily.
Which version of Windows are you using?
yes thats it when we get the at work they show up as an excel sheet to get through, other wise they are too big. even shorts videos about a min long.
Vista
I thought Gil was trying to change the file extension to sneak videos etc past an email filter?
Yes, that's exactly what he's trying to do.
I don't have access to a computer with Vista to look for the setting, but according to Microsoft, this is how you change the setting.
Now that it seems that we're finished with the coversion of video to spreadsheet may I suggest we have a laugh at the way journalists covert things in order to make sure no one that reads their articles understand what they're writing about: Unit-coverter.

That didn't seem to work?
I not as computer literate as some of you here I'd need a step by step how to embed a file/video into a excel sheet.
I feel so fucking useless right now.
