Hi, 

This is an XLSX file. but i'm not able to edit the file when i put the file available offline and i try to edit it in offline mode.

Thanks for the info. As the file has to be opened in the Office app, which then syncs the changes back to Dropbox, it wouldn't be possible to edit the files in Office while you're offline. 

 

However, it might be possible to export the file to another app to edit it.
