numbers won't import excel file via email

I regularly send excel files to number as an email attachment. This worked fine last week (Dec 12) but has failed twice this week. Used different files and on different days. Both files are updated versions on those successfully transferred last week with different names.


Any ideas?

Windows pc

files are .xlsx

iPad Air 2 running ios 13.3

74 GB available on iPad


Windows, Windows 10

Additional info. I am using the email default on the iPad not Outlook as that insists that I need Excel to edit and doesn't give me the option to use Numbers instead. I've been using this method of transferring a files from my Windows PC to Numbers for a long time and can't understand why it suddenly just crashes out and takes me back to the home screen. I have tried restarting the iPad but the problem persists.


Hopefully some of you clever people can help me. Thanks in advance.
