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. Our tool repairs text, numbers, formulas, merged cells, comments, frozen rows and columns, embedded images, filter settings, sheet names, images, hyperlinks, and other similar attributes. 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 can't open an Excel file that is important to me due to the extension not being valid or corrupted.
I've tried about everything that I could find online but havent been able to solve it, possibly due to a different Excel version?
Remember to create a backup of the corrupted file before attempting any repair methods, especially if you decide to use third-party tools. If none of the above methods work, it might be worth reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance or considering professional data recovery services.

@MathiasssI had the same problem when I copied a good file to a new subfolder. I think this was the issue: This error message occurs when you save or open a file if the path to the file (including the file name) exceeds 218 characters. This limitation includes three characters representing the drive, the characters in folder names, the backslash character between folders, and the characters in the file name.

If object relations cannot be identified or restored, the object will be saved on a separate sheet at the end of the document. No document data will be lost and the program will restore the maximum of your data.

Thank you for a great, fast and reasonably priced service - I am very grateful for your help in recovering a corrupt file I thought I had lost. Most other service providers want a subscription or a high one off cost, but your service was high quality and for a fair price.
Damn guys, you won't believe it.The virus infected all my excel files, and as I understood, added VBA Script there (report from virustotal).The antivirus suggested deleting or moving the file to quarantine.And when opening the file, a window popped up from Explorer.exe (Microsoft Excel troubleshooting)Your service just took and removed this VBA Script, and left only the data.I don't even know how to thank you, what you did is amazing.
THANK YOU !! frankly for 5 euros it was worth the wait 8 hours for an EXCEL file of more than 6MB that you have fully recovered. to my colleagues we are very grateful you saved a few months of work !!
The service is really great. We used the Online File Repair service to recover a company file of which a copy had not yet been saved and the regenerated file was absolutely perfect down to the last line. Really great at a super affordable cost.
The .xlsm file does not open as expected because the file format is not correct. Excel does not automatically detect file encoding, and show me variants, that are also invalid.If you don't want to waste time, you will have to pay $5 - my file was instantly fixed.
Repairing a file without installing the program, damn it is brilliant !! I spent only 10 minutes to fix a damage Excel file! The cells with the calculations did not recover, but in my document next to me something was written for the cell: "Amount, VAT, TOTAL"
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:
