If all above methods don’t work, then you may try third-party tools such as Excel Fix Toolbox from source: http://www.excel.fixtoolbox.com/

You may use it to recover some Excel files successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.

Good luck!

Hi NealReyd,

Follow these steps to repair a corrupted 2007 Excel file by using the inbuilt Microsoft Excel repair tool:

1. Open Microsoft Excel 2007, click the Office button, and then select Open.
2. In the Open dialog box that pops-up, browse and select the corrupt Excel 2007 file. Click the arrow next to the Open button and choose Open and Repair.
3. Click Repair when prompted to recover as much data as you can from the Excel 2007 file.
4. If a repair fails, follow steps 1 till 3, and then click Extract Data to extract values and formulas from the corrupt file.
5. In the window that appears, click Convert to Values or Recover Formulas to extract workbook data.

If this manual method doesn’t work to repair your corrupted file, you can go for the third-party tool. Because performing the 2007 Excel repair process manually can be time-consuming. Also, manual methods to recover a corrupt Excel file doesn’t guarantee recovering the complete data.

I hope this manual method helps to recover your file.
