How do you recover a corrupted file in Microsoft Excel?

Answer 1

If you have saved the file over another older version, using the same name, then you can't get the other back. If you have an earlier copy you can use that and try to redo the work that you had done in the more up to date one.

I would recommend you next software restores damaged files by viruses, malware, system errors, incorrect user actions and etc.

Answer 2

When Microsoft Excel detects a corrupted workbook upon opening, it automatically starts File Recovery mode and attempts to repair the workbook. If File Recovery mode doesn't start, try using this manual process to recover your workbook: 1.Click File > Open. 2.Click the location and folder that contains the corrupted workbook. 3.In the Open dialog box, select the corrupted workbook. 4.Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair. 5.To recover as much of the workbook data as possible, pick Repair. If Repair isn't able to recover your data, pick Extract Data to extract values and formulas from the workbook.
