I have one excel sheet but it's not opening, it showing one error message that the file extension is corrupt.
Please kindly go through the screen shots and suggest me some solution
This indeed means the file is corrupted. You still have some hope to open the file. If you have LibreOffice installed, this has worked for me in the past (then just export it as a doc and try opening it again). If you don't have it, you can also try uploading it to google documents and seeing if you can rescue the file that way.
Your file must be corrupt. It happens when not downloaded completely or uncomplete transfer of data.

So right now i'm working on creating an xlsx from scratch. Ive decided to dive right into the zip and replicate it through code. I've literally just copied and pasted everything exactly the same just changed the data on the backend.
I've noticed a very weird bug that seems to break the xlsx file after repacking it as a zip.
when I wrote my .rels.xml file in the back end and open it up via Browser it seems to display .rels.xml as normal.
However After going back into the original .rels.xml file of the original xlsx it is displayed as plain text, and after copying the file to the folder theres no "Would you like to replace the file" prompt almost as if it was a completely different name. Lastly it seems copying this .rels.xml from the original over to my backend , the xlsx seems to want to actually open.
Any clues as to why this behavior occurs?
EDIT: Seems like the same thing happens to the workbook.xml in the xl/_rels directory. I really have no clue why it does this... i'm not sure if its just because of the odd naming senses or not...
Not really sure what you want to achieve. Why are you not using a library that can work with the xlsx files? It is not a good idea to manipulate the xml unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing. Anyway if you still want to try use Notepad++ as the editor might change the xml encoding without warninig you. Also when you zip back use 7-zip and choose "store" or "normal-deflate" zip.
edit: I see now that you edit the xmls through code. So forget about notepad but keep an eye on the encoding
I'm currently working on my data using Ms.Excel.
But suddenly the file that I'm working in was broken. when I tried to open it again I get error where it contain "ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ" (See Picture).
Screenshoot Corrupted Excel File
The data was not really big, it's only arround 130KB. Besides, Autorecovery Mode was Turned On every 10 minutes. But I don't know How To use it.
I tried to solve the problem many times using below method:
First, I tried to check the "Ignore .... " in Excel Option.
Second, I tried Open and Repair the file, but still can't open it.
Third, I tried to use a third party, Using 2 Software (Stellar Phoenix Excel Repair And Recovery Tools For Excel). but Both not Working.
So I wonder if anyone can help me to get my data back? is there any way to recover the file? or is there a way to get the data within the file?
Thank you for all the suggestion you gave me, From the last comment I tried to get and extract the data using Programmer editor and using VBA, but both not give a good result, basically when you tried to extract the data when the file is corrupted it only get a unique character.
So here is my solution, since i'm using windows, I tried to Reinstall my Ms.Office and recover my Excel file on mac, and boom the magic worked.
Once again, thanks for your help.
I have created an Excel file from delimted text file using awk in linux terminal transferring the same to windows. when opened it shows a pop-up "This file might be corrupted or unsafe.would you like to open?"But on tapping yes I could see data everything is fine as expected.How to avoid such pop-up.
I have tried to convert to .xlsx then I couldn't even see the data
I tried to zip and send then unzip same warning popsup
My guess as to what is going on is that the incoming Excel file is still basically a Linux file, but MS Office, being flexible, is allowing you to open it. For a one time fix, try the following steps from Windows Excel:
Open the Linux Excel file (some_file.xlsx)
Save as another file name (some_new_file.xlsx)
Close Excel
Delete some_file.xlsx and rename some_new_file.xlsx to some_file.xlsx
Now try opening the file again, and hopefully the error message will have gone away.
Does anyone know a way to recover changes made in a .csv that were not saved when excel 2007 was closed.
At the moment, I don't see any way to solve this.
Check all the temporary files created recently. Especially alongside the file you opened. There are a few temp folders in the system that Excel may use. C:\Windows\temp is the main one, but it is usually under the Users folder in later versions of windows. Eg: C:\Users\YourUserName\Local Settings\Temp
If you find any files that look like Excel temps, take a copy and rename the extension and then try to open it.
(Your only real chance is if auto-save kicked in and saved a copy - to a temp file - when you still had your new changes in the document. Otherwise the changes are lost I'm afraid)
If option #1 doesn't resolve your problem in Excel, go to File->Options->Save. Hopefully your AutoRecover file location, under the third box, will be populated with an address.
I need a serious help from you guys. I need to read the contents of an excel workbook which is on the shared drive. The size of the excel workbook is 200MB. I tried to open it in a normal way like these,
workbooks.open("Server_path\Server_file.xls")
The file did not get open even I waited for 1 hour or so.Then i tried it on the smaller file which is 281KB(it is also an excel file), which is also on the same server and it took roughly 2 mins.
Im aware of dealing such huge files which are on the local drive. But I dont know the faster way to open the excel file which is on the shared drive. Actually Im at india and file is located at london server.So please help me with opening of the file.atleast if I open it I can just capture all the contents into a variant and close it.
But opening the file is a big issue here.Please help me with these.Any Help is greatly appreciated!
