    Hi rafi,

    The path you provided: sandbox:/פורפורמה_לחשבונית_62653_ללא_מעמ_18.xlsx

    is not a normal Windows file path. A sandbox:/ link is usually a temporary or internal reference created by a specific application, website, or AI tool, and Windows cannot open it directly unless the originating app supports that link.

    To help narrow this down:

    1. Which application or website generated the sandbox:/ link?
    2. Are you trying to open it in a browser, Excel, or another program?
    3. Do you have the actual .xlsx file saved on your computer, or do you only have the sandbox:/ reference?

    Based on the information provided so far, if this file was generated by an online service, try returning to that service and look for a Download or Export option to save the actual .xlsx file locally. Once downloaded, you should be able to open it normally in Microsoft Excel.
