    Hi Hari2009,

    This is usually due to a version issue in Office on the client computer. I'm not sure what version does it when though. Compare versions between when works and what doesn't.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I found that if a user have only View permission then the excel is opening in Web browser by default.

    Regards,
    Hari

    You can set whether to open Excel file in web browser by default in  Document Library Settings->Advanced Settings-> Browser-enabled Documents. I don’t think it has something to do with the user permission.
