below is the question asked of me to fix a corrupt file. The issue is:

I recently had an issue with a corrupted file (the same file as the one
attached, although the one attached was received two days later).  When
I open the file straight from the email, I do not have any problems;
however, when I save it on the network and reopen it, I receive a
message that says "excel found unreadable content in your file - do you
want to recover the contents of your workbook?"  Can you please take a
look at the file and let me know if it can be fixed?

Excel found unreadable content i copy of xxxxx-2010 Stautory audit .xls Do you want the source of this workbook, click yes. When we do nothing gets fixed. Another user has the same issue?


I am not sure why excel is not my thing. I have tried to open the file and have recieved errors saying the file may be corrupt, click here and the app will fix it. It never gets fixed?

Alternatively:

1. Rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it

2. The document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)

3. Open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if youre not on windows 7)

4. In your blank excel document hit file -> open

5. Navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open

6. It should now open the document

I hope this helps someone, if not, visit some authoritative resources...
