SecureRecoveryfor Excel repairs .xlsx and .xls files by scanning, analyzing, and attempting to fix the corrupted file. It does so by exporting all available data into a new spreadsheet, maintaining data integrity.

However, in cases of severe damage or corruption, some data loss is inevitable.

Using our Excel file repair software is a non-destructive operation, meaning this tool only analyzes the damaged file and does not change the original data. Try it for free by downloading our demo or using our online Excel file repair option.

The good news is that, in most cases, the file is not lost completely. There can be a small sliver of data that can help rebuild the file. Our Excel repair tool works to fix and restore the remaining non-corrupted data from damaged xls, xlsx, or xla files. This give you the ability to recover your Excel file and open it without any errors.

Try our Demo version for free today, or use our online Excel file repair tool. The SecureRecovery for Excel Demo tool can evaluate the viability of file repair before committing to the full repair operation. It only produces a limited number of data, so for large files, the full version is needed. The Demo tool can, however, help determine whether the file is able to be recovered. In the case that file cannot be fixed, you will see a "No data to recover" message. If this happens to you, it is possible your file can still be recovered by a specialist. Contact our team for a manual review.

Repair your corrupt files by uploading them to our cloud-based platform. After upload, processing typically takes from a few seconds to a minute, after which the user is offered free and paid options for downloading the results of the recovery.

SecureRecovery can fix corrupted Excel files online, conveniently, and without the need to download and install any file repair tools. Our professional-grade file repair technology is built by data recovery experts. It's simple to use and effective, even in severe cases.

After the file is uploaded and the recovery is concluded, you can evaluate the Excel repair online free demo results and instantly purchase the repaired results in a new file if you are satisfied. The recovered data is saved to a new Excel spreadsheet.

While the full version can recover complete spreadsheets, the demo will only recover a limited number of cells. Past this point, recovered cells will be replaced with generic placeholder text. If a cell is unrecoverable, it will not appear with the placeholder text. Please note that formatting, stylesheets and other elements may not be recoverable if they do not appear in the demo output.

Not necessarily. When cells are damaged or portions of your spreadsheet are unreadable, SecureRecovery for Excel replaces the damaged areas with blank space, which can result in a smaller file size. This typically does not affect the usability of the recovered files.

Some features (such as advanced formatting) may be supported or unrecoverable, which would also result in a smaller file size. Also, the demo version of the software almost always outputs a relatively small file, since recovered cells are entirely replaced with placeholder text.

This is normal. The damaged parts of your Excel spreadsheet will convert to zero size on output. The other common reason of file size decrease is when some of features of the original spreadsheet are not supported and therefore absent from the recovered spreadsheet. Demo-recovered spreadsheet is smaller because it mostly consists of demo placeholders than actual data.

SecureRecovery for Excel can recover Excel spreadsheets that have lost data due to corruption, deletion, virus damage or for various other reasons. It is a powerful tool with excellent ease of use and state-of-the-art features.

In very rare instances, this can occur due to corruption. We recommend accessing the original corrupted file in Safe Mode, which will allow SecureRecovery for Excel to replace complicated formulas with their values.

You can enable this option by checking the Safe Mode checkbox when selecting the files you want to recover. Safe Mode should only be necessary in extraordinary circumstances, so please contact our technical team with a detailed description of the issue if this occurs.

I have a business critical Excel .xlsb file, that I have been updating/using for years (it contains about 20 sheets, and a lot of VBA code - none of which runs on opening).

Yesterday, the file refused to open on 2 different work PCs, both running the same, fully updated version of Excel from an Office 365 E3 business subscription. Whilst I thought this one file may be corrupt, I have used this file for many years, with many older versions on the file saved (some of which have not been used/opened for years) - and Excel was suddenly unable to open these versions either!? When trying to open the file, Excel would simply freeze for a bit, then close with no error messages. Opening Excel in safe mode made no difference, same issue. Further info on this led me to believe the problem was with the latest version of Excel as:

- NB I could NOT open the .xlsb file in Office 365 via the browser, I got an error message saying it needed to be viewed in the desktop (which of course didn't work either)

So there is something in this file (and previous versions) that the latest version of Excel/Excel online does not like. NB other .xlsb files I have so far seem fine.

This looks very similar to another user's issues, reported in Jan 2020 (which appears unresolved):

-workbook-xlsb-crashes-on-new-computer-and-latest-...

Can anyone shed any light? I now have a working .xlsm file - but I was only able to do this as I had a laptop with a different version of Excel on - if this wasn't the case then I could have been scuppered. And it makes me wary of using .xlsb files full-stop for now!

There are several possible reasons why Excel crashes when opening an .xlsb file, such as corrupted cache, outdated software, incompatible add-ins, conditional formatting, antivirus interference, or system issues.

You can also use a third-party tool to repair your .xlsb file, such as Stellar Repair for Excel or Kernel for Excel Repair. These tools can scan your file and recover data from damaged worksheets. Have not used these tools myself, but are recommended by some, so without guarantee.

Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I seem to have a similar problem where my .xslb file immediately closing when opening with no error message. Excel then does a repair and it works. But after a while making some macro changes, it happens again. I have tried removing all macros and reloading. Same problem after a while. I am on Windows 10, Office 360 16.0.16501.20074 64 bit.

@Duwat13 Sorry no. I was able to convert the file to .xlsm and all was fine. It did take a bit of sorting, but if you are able to open the file occasionally then I'd do this. For me, the only real advantage to a .xlsb file was smaller file size, but not much of an advantage if it doesn't work....!

I tried it several times in a situation like the one below and it works.

- My Excel is a very complex form of VBA, functions and automation in every area even for several external files (also files accessed with autogenerated name related to data in sheets which isn't possible as M$oft said - yes it is possible)

- I have such a habit to check after saving whether the file continues to open (Microsoft software in most cases is very defective and unprofessional compared to Apple)

- one day I open the main file and what do I see - crash without warning, totally nothing helped, neither cache nor reinstallation completely nothing. The file seemed to be damaged

- Another habit is always making a backup before opening the file for further work (usually adding next version number)

- renaming the corrupted file to another file - I open and it works! Excel has not crashed. I just change file name!

- back to the exact previous name - Excel crash! Vvery professional amateur problems in m$ but predictable

- rename the corrupted file again - I open and it works, no crash

- just to be sure, I return to the previous version of the name, again crash, when I duplicate this file and it already has the note "- Copy" ... copy also crash

- I delete the copy because there is no point

- I rename the original file to anything else - the result - it opens, no crash! exactly as before...

- after opening it saves via Save As... under the name I use in automation (the same one which I found out my file is damaged!). I close everything including Excel

- I open the newly saved file with the option Save as... - and it works! no crash :)
