Hi,
I received a short file for proofreading and luckily there were any errors to correct... I am saying this because I don't know how to save a newly corrected text. It saved the file (the project) into Excel file, but no .sdl format. How do you do that?

What was the file format?

If there were no errors to correct what do you mean by "newly corrected text"?
If there is nothing to correct, the best way is simply sending the client a message confirming that everything is ok and no changes are needed.

The file came as a .sdlppx format. As I said before I was lucky there were no mistakes to correct. I don't know how to save the file in the same format. It just wants me to save it in Excel file.

I really wouldn't send back the package to the client as it would only create an unnecessary mess; just letting the client know that no changes are needed would be completely enough.
However, in general, if you have worked at a package (.sdlppx) you should create the return package (.sdlrpx). To do so you should close the file you are working at, in the FILE view choose the files to be included in the package, and choose the CREATE RETURN PACKAGE option either from the right button ...

To do so you should close the file you are working at, in the FILE view choose the files to be included in the package, and choose the CREATE RETURN PACKAGE option either from the right button menu or from the upper menu.
By default the return package file will be saved in the [package folder name] - [packages] - [Out] subfolder.

In that case you should make a return package.
In the list with the projects: right click on the project name, go to Create Return Package in the dropdown menu. Do what you have to do there. Pay attention to the directory you're saving the package in.
Be carefull: if you have added terminology databases and/or translation databases to your project, delete those before you make the return package.
If you did not do that, you can, of course, restart the process to create a return package.
Don't forget: the terminology databases and/or translation databases are actually your experience.

If you are also talking about translation memories you've attached yourself during the project: those are not included in the return package.

Yes, I was talking about your own memories and databases, not those provided by the client.

I don't understand. Why do you have to delete them before creating a return package? They are not included in the return package. Your client only receives your work file(s).
