    In Windows Explorers right click on the file and choose Previous Versions. Open the last version that didn't give you trouble and after opening, resave with a different name.

    Alternatively:

    1. Rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it
    2. The document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)
    3. Open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if you’re not on windows 7)
    4. In your blank excel document hit file -> open
    5. Navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open
    6. It should now open the document
    I hope this helps someone, if not, visit some authoritative resources...
