Accidentally deletion; Mistakenly formatted on your external hard drive or USB flash drive.
Virus Attacks Unexpected or improper program shutdown PC power Outages advertising mistakes Error messages like:
?Excel unable to read file.., This file is not in the recognizable format.?. XXX.xls file cannot be accessed. The document could possibly be read-only, Excel.exe has produced mistakes and will in all probability be closed by Windows. You will have to restart the program and you have lost your documents.

Any case of abnormal data corruption in Windows FAT & NTFS file
systems can cause data loss in the data residing in the hard disk of
the computer. The easy way to revive the lost data is to use an
efficient Windows recovery software. Kernel for Windows Data Recovery

permanently deleted files from hard disk drive. It supports both FAT &
NFTS file systems.

.. alternatively, you could try opening the file in open office ? Used to

and I'm not sure if it still works. :)

It would be nice if the demo version works with 2007 and later files,
but it only allows earlier version files (xls) in its browser. I
contacted sa...@systoolsgroup.com for a fix!

Microsoft Excel Workshop data that has been lost or corrupted can be recovered using some excel document recovery tools. I was in the same situation, however, I utilized Softaken MS Excel Recovery, one of the expert solutions for recovering excel files. After thoroughly scanning your hard drive, this Excel recovery tool can restore lost, deleted, formatted, corrupted, and inaccessible Excel files. Without taking additional time, this software restores any affected MX Excel files.
I advise using this - https://www.softaken.com/recovery/ms-excel/
