How to Repair a Corrupt Excel File

In case your spreadsheet cannot open or has some missing details, here are some of the steps that you can follow to fix a corrupt Excel file. Start by making copies of the file so that you can manipulate it without putting the original file at risk. From Microsoft Excel, navigate to the File tab, click on “Open” and then “Browse.” Then, click on the file and click “Open and Repair,” which appears as an arrow next to the “Open” option. Clicking on “Repair” will allow Excel to try and repair the workbook. In case that does not work, click on “Extract Data” to try and get any values and formulas that are accessible. If the workbook is not accessible due to the damage or impending failure of the storage device, then Notchox corrupted file recovery software can be useful in retrieving other remaining files on the device.
