Excel, error:" too many cells format"

[Safi]

In the Excel Worksheet Function.

There is an error message which mentions that there is" Too many different
cells format". I would like to know how can I fix this problem, and what
causes this error.

A few people have said that OpenOffice.Org has been able to open the file. Then
they clean it up and save it there. Then excel can open that cleaned up
version.
