Since installing Catalina 10.15 and Office 365 16.30 (updates installed the same day (something I will not due again)) when I attempt to save a workbook that I have used for a couple of years, I receive the alert: 'Your changes could not be saved to xxx.xlsx due to a sharing violation. I then receive the alert The file format end extension of 646820000.mactf don't match.
I contacted the Answer Desk who say it is an Apple Product and Apple support said it is a Microsoft problem.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

2020-06-11T16:01:55+00:00 Does anyone know when 16.38 will be available through Microsoft Update? I'm hesitant to install beta code.

Thanks to all who worked on the resolution. I was not comfortable running the older version Excel (all to often, critical fixes are within a release), so I again feel secure.
