It should open. May be the plugin is not enabled:
see /Tools/Plug-ins..., a dialog box pops, and verify that "MS Excel
(tm)" is checked.

If the plugin is enabled and the file still does not open, try to start
gnumeric from a terminal to see if there is any useful message there,
otherwise file a bug report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org, product
gnumeric and attach the file or any excel file that would not open.
