Recovering data from corrupt excel file
 

Hi All,

I had a excel file. While I was working on that the power went off
suddenly. When the machine booted again i tried to open the file but
the office gave me an error saying that the File is Corrupt and I need
to repair the same.

I did the same using Microsoft Office Wizard. But now I could see some
data from the file is missing.

Is there any way through which I can recover the whole data from the
file.


Thanks,
Suyog

Recovering data from corrupt excel file
 

Sometimes earlier versions of excel can read files that later versions can't.
Sometimes (more usual) the later versions can handle stuff that the earlier
versions can't.

If it is a corrupted workbook, you may want to try openoffice. Lots of people
have said that it's recovered workbooks (including the project) that excel
couldn't.

(http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD)

If the file is really important, there are commercial recovery services. I've
never used it, but you might want to check into:
