You don't have to save an Excel file by a different way, because a Mac can read Excel files without any problem, but you need a productivity suite that can read them. These are the most important suites:
Start quickly with the most recent versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and OneDrive —combining the familiarity of Office and the unique Mac features you love. Work online or offline, on your own or with others in real time—whatever works for what you’re doing. Excel for Mac does not support PowerPivot and Pivot Charts. Any pivot table having source data based on the Excel Data Model will be unfilterable if the spreadsheet is opened by a MAC user. Pivot Charts are not interactive on Mac and don’t change simultaneously with their source Pivot Table. Instead, they remain static screenshot-like graphs.
