I had the same problem: I received an excel table from my client, but I don’t have excel, so I made necessary changes using google sheets. InDesign does not recognise the google sheet file, even if I save it as excel.
I solved this by opening the google sheets file in Numbers (I’m on Mac…) and re-exporting it as excel from there, using the Advanced option to save as .xls (Excel 1997-2004 compatible).
