Steps to add Excel to your right-click “Open with …” list for opening XL2 measurements

While having screen sharing sessions with customers, they sometimes ask how I added Excel (or any other spreadsheet program to my "Open with ..." list.

It is a big time savings when working with XL2 measurements.

Here are the steps

Right-click on file that you want to add a new "Open with ..." choice. Typically a .txt file for XL2 measurements
Scroll to the bottom and select "Choose another app"
Scroll down and chose More Apps
Scroll down again and chose "Look for another app on this PC"
Excel is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 (this is for a Office 365 32-bit installation, file path may vary. Search for Excel.exe)
