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!
