any one can help me in retrieving attached excel file
it's damaged, I saved it on flash memory. original file
gone when I format my laptop. now, when I want to
open it, it shows that file is damaged and extension
is not valid.
I will appreciate it if any one can do it for me.
thanks in advance
noexcel=badwork,
Do you know the worksheet names?
What range of cells contain data in each worksheet?
Do you have a good sample of a similar workbook? If so, can you attach it?
Have a great day,

I think the file is actually corrupt.. tried a couple of options on it, just didn't work.

Same as I tried. I even tried to unpack the file to look at the raw XML - but the header is damaged such that the archive cannot be opened. I suppose there exists no backup anywhere? Dropbox or something similar is better than a thumb drive for backups... :-)Originally Posted by martindwilson
thank you all for your attempt
hi Stan
I don't have a sample of it, it consists of
three worksheet, I don't remember their names
any idea how to open that file
thanks in advance
noexcel=badwork,
It was worth a try.
I tried to adopt the code from here:
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80641
But, we need to know the worksheet name(s). Without the correct worksheet names the code fails.
Based on what others have tried for you, your best bet is a prior backup of the original file before it became corrupt (maybe a local backup, firm/corporate backup...).
I looked at that file in a hex editor: there are no Excel tags or id codes in that file; it's mostly empty spaces.
