Variants not possible, as the workbook has not been saved on the server

When locally saved Workbooks are migrated from 3.x to 7.3,

When you open the migrated workbook, click on change variables, save variant option in not enabled and have error message as ‘Variants not possible, as the workbook has not been saved on the server’.
