Good morning, Community,
Please I need your help, I have converted some Excel workbook into Mathcad Prime worksheet, my problem is that the AI created the file but I cannot open the file in Mathcad Prime 11. Please see attached files for your attention.
Thank you

To date there has not been a single report of a mathcad or prime worksheet created by any AI, that would successfully be opened by the application.

The .mcdx files contained in your .zip archives do not even nearly meet the specifications of a Prime 11 file. So it is no wonder that Prime 11 refuses to work with them.

I dare say that if in the future an AI successfully creates a mathcad sheet, it would be for any of the old versions (real) Mathcad 1 through 8 or 2000 or 2001. Or else a Mathcad 13, 14 or 15 file. Those are .MCD files and .xmcd files repectively, not Prime .mcdx files.

You'll have to translate your Excel sheet to mathcad/prime the 'hard way', that is, by hand.

Success!
