Excel 2007 file

[anthonyduncan]

Good day,

I have a computer set of Excel files, all in working order, but today one of the files when opening gave an error: "Excel found unreadable content in <filename.xslx>."

 

I tried to open it in the latest version of Office, with no result.

 

I tried to recover it from the temporary files, also did not help.

 

How to open a file?

I had a Publisher file saved from 2007

I could open it in 2016 but it did not work very well and would mess up when trying to edit it.

2007 files must not work well in 2016

If File Recovery mode doesn’t start, try using this manual process to recover your workbook:

 

1. Click File > Open.

2. Click the location and folder that contains the corrupted workbook.

3. In the Open dialog box, select the corrupted workbook.

4. Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.

5. To recover as much of the workbook data as possible, pick Repair.

 

If Repair isn’t able to recover your data, pick Extract Data to extract values and formulas from the workbook.

If neither automatic nor manual repair works, there are some recovery methods that might help salvage your data. You can also take some preventive measures to avoid losing your work by automatically saving a backup copy of your workbook or creating a recovery file from time to time.
