MS Excel is a
popular spreadsheet application tool, which is introduced by Microsoft for
creating electronic spreadsheet documents. This spreadsheet program is a part
of Microsoft Office, and it is commonly used for storing, organizing and
managing data. MS Excel program is primarily designed to store a workbook in an
electronic form. We can create professional spreadsheets and charts by using
Microsoft Excel program.
We can prepare
other documents like tax statement, balance sheet, bank statement, sales and
purchase statement, etc. and also we can calculate our income and expenses by
using MS Excel. It is also very popular for dashboard reporting in the market.
Therefore, MS Excel has become an essential part of all businesses and
organizations. It is not only used in businesses or organizations, but also in
education sectors and for home purposes. In schools and institutes it is used
for keeping records of their students and staff. It stores all the data and
information in a file, which is called XLS file. But in updated versions like
2007 and 2010 it saves the file in .xlsx file extension.
On one hand MS
Excel offers some advanced features. On the other hand, it may create some
serious problems like file corruption. This problem becomes a big dilemma if we
do not take a positive action against this corruption. There are several
factors which are highly responsible for spreadsheet corruption. Such as:
- Virus infection and bugs attack on spreadsheets and its application;
- Improper system shutdown due to sudden power outage;
- Abruptly or unexpected cancellation of spreadsheet or application;
- Hard drive contains bad sector or unwanted crash in hard drive;
- Software malfunction or collision with other software programs, etc.
Due to all these
reasons, our files become corrupted and we receive errors while opening them.
There are various errors which may take place at the time of file corruption,
such as:
"Excel cannot
open the file filename.xlsx because the file format or file extension is not
valid" or
"The file is corrupt and cannot be opened".
When such errors
take place in excel spreadsheets, they become inaccessible or unable to be
opened. All the data and information stored in the files get corrupted or
damaged. Under this circumstance, we have only two options: repair corrupt file
by using "Open and repair"
function of MS Excel and recover data from corrupt files by using third-party
recovery software.

A window will be appearing. Now select corrupt spreadsheet from the system directory. A arrow will be shown on Open button, scroll it down. Click on Open and Repair.
