Corrupted Xlsx File

[halifburak39]

So, i was copying some files after work from one partition to another. I then accidently deleted both partitions due to being really tired. I managed to get my files back using recovery software. However one of the files recovered was an Excel file.

Ms Excel says its corrupted snd that i can't open it. Its a really important file for me as it has my work hours all written down in it so i would really like to have it back.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've already tried opening it in openoffice calc but it just comes up in mumbo jumbo language/text.

Looking forward to your feedback!

was it ever backed up - have you sent a copy to anybody recently ?

See if an Excel spreadsheet gets corrupted, it can't be opened. Though, there is a way to open corrupt spreadsheet, but sometimes it may fail. You can try to open the spreadsheet by using Open and Repair technique. It's very simple.
Open MS Excel > click on File tab > Open > select corrupt .xlsx file > click on the arrow beside open button > Open and Repair.

This technique is useful, but not so effective if file is severely corrupted. In such situation you can check some third-party recovery applications. I will recommend XLSX Repair Kit to recover data from corrupt .xlsx files. It will repair your corrupt .xlsx file and restore your data like tables, charts, formulae and many more. You must try its free demo version. You can download it from here: http://www.xlsx.repair/
