Hi there,
I recently have a problem opening an excel file and it is giving me an error "MSExcelFilename.xls::fileformat is not valid". I searched for a solution and found one but another problem arises when i am checking the file contents, I found out that there are several sheets missing on that file. Is there any way i can recover those lost sheets?
Thank you..
Backup your original file first and try to open the duplicate copy of the workbook in Open Office and check…

I tired to open a backup of the original file Using OpenOffice and LibreOffice.. I got this "Text Import" window. What's the next step?

No don't try it in import method.
Just right click on the file and select Open With and select the OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
But the above programs will getting listed in Open With if it is already installed in your system.
Yes, what I did is right clicked the file then selected open with and selected LibreOffice Calc, then the "Text Import" window appeared.
Oh I never LibreOffice, any how just give next next and see what happens since we are trying with duplicate copy of the workbook so no need to worry...
It hanged when i was trying to open it in LibreOffice, i again made another copy of the file and try to open it on OpenOffice and got this messageOpenOffice.JPG

Find the file using Windows Explorer. Right click on it and choose Restore Previous Versions. You should be presented with a list of previous versions of the file. If you know when the problem started, choose the version that is just before that date and open it. It should open in Excel without problem. If it also doesn't open, choose an earlier version until you get one to open.

It seems that the extension of file is not in excel file format. Can you please let us know the extension of the file?
Tried what newdoverman said but i cannot find the "Restore Previous Versions" after right clicking the file, my file's extension is .xls.
That is unfortunate....will keep on thinking
