Default How do I restore an unreadable floppy disk created in excel
You cannot create a floppy disk in Excel.

You can save to a floppy disk from Excel but this can result in a corrupt floppy
disk which you seem to have generated.

Restoration would be impossible in my estimation if corrupt.

Try copying to HD then open in Excel. Might get lucky.

For future...................do not save to or open directly from a floppy.

Save to HD first then copy to floppy.

Coming the other way, copy to HD then open in Excel.
