Excel for web file won't open

Hello! I'm using Google Chrome for Windows to open a MS Excel file using "excel for web" via the dropbox.com page.  When I click through to the "excel for web" option, a "dead" paper icon (reminds me of old-school Mac icon) appears, and the file doesn't open... This file opens normally on other computers at my business.  Thanks in advance for help.
