Hi Henry,

Do not worry! Try open and repair option first. With this, also check your mailbox because it can possible that, you have a copy of the file on email.

If above not works then, try to open Excel in safe mode or disable COM Add-ins.

A third party Excel repair tool can be a good idea if nothing works for you. Download the demo version first and try on your corrupt file.Download from here:
