How do I save a LibreOffice Calc file for opening in Excel?

Question

I am trying to save a file in LibreOffice Calc that is still usable in Microsoft Office Excel. Save as .xlms doesn't work.

What do you mean by .xlms? I don't see that as a Save As option in LibreOffice 3.6. — user25656, Feb 23, 2013 at 1:20

OP specified .xlms not .xls. Unless that's a typo!

Open your spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc. Navigate to File -> Save As.

Make sure you open the "File Type" menu:

Then either select .xls or .xlsx depending on whether the version of Excel you are using is 2007 or newer:

Click "Save" and there you go.
