Just wanted to pass on some info about the recovery of damaged Microsoft Excel files (.xls). Sometimes the unthinkable can happen and your Microsoft Excel file can become damaged which would mean that all your valuable spreadsheet information can be lost. This can be devastating especially if you use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to store valuable business data and can end up costing you or your business a small fortune.

How do you know if your Excel file is damaged or corrupt? You may have trouble opening or saving the file and you may also get error messages such as:
The file *.xls caused a serious error the last time it was opened
Unable to read file, file format not valid
Unexpected Error (35012)
Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible
File error: data may have been lost
Cannot find the file

If you have received any of these errors or have trouble opening your spreadsheet then it is very likely that your Microsoft Excel file (.xls) is damaged or corrupt.

Another reason could be because of an error caused by Excel when auto saving the file. There could also be a power cut or power fluctuation at the time your computer saves the file or it could even be down to a failing hard disk.
