Excel File Repair

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can be damaged or corrupted just like any file, but often with more catastrophic results. If you are facing the prospect of data loss due to damaged Excel files, SecureRecovery for Excel can help. This powerful recovery utility scans, analyzes and recovers information stored in spreadsheets, returning your data to full functionality.

SecureRecovery for Excel offers quick and effective recovery for files from all modern versions of the application. The latest version of SecureRecovery for Excel, 6.0, includes a set of helpful new features, including:

• A New, User-Friendly Interface With Multiple Recovery Options
• Support for Excel 2007 and 2010

In addition to these valuable recovery services, SecureRecovery for Excel includes full support for a wide variety of formats and operations:

Demo Tool Evaluates Each File

SecureRecovery for Excel includes a Demo Tool that can estimate the viability of file repair before committing to the full data recovery operation. Using the Demo Tool produces either of two common results:

1. Repairable data will show with a placeholder reading “demo,” and a sample of recoverable data will be repaired on the spot.
2. If the file is damaged beyond the capabilities of the utility, the message “No data to recover” will appear. In that case, contact our in-lab data recovery services

Limitations

SecureRecovery for Excel is a powerful utility, but if files are damaged enough there may be some data that cannot be restored. This tool is not designed to recover:

• Visual Basic Modules or Drawings
• Names of Cells
• Items Filtered Out by MS Excel

Using SecureRecovery for Excel

SecureRecovery for Excel is extremely easy to operate. The user interface guides you through the process, and it only takes a few clicks to restore your damaged files.

1. Create a reliable backup of your corrupted file. Non-local media such as CDs or network drives are best for storing backups.
2. Start the utility.
3. In the File menu, select “Recover. . . item.” This opens a file selection dialog box.
4. Select your damaged file and click “Recover.”
5. Do not turn off your computer while the utility processes the file. When the operation is complete, a prompt will appear.
6. Save the newly repaired spreadsheet with a new file name. SecureRecovery for Excel will assign a default file name, adding “Recovered” to the original.

Limit Costly Data Loss With SecureRecovery for Excel

If your .xls, .xlsx or .xla file opens as a string of random characters, it is likely that you are confronting a corrupted spreadsheet. Other corrupted files might crash the application, or generate error messages indicating damage. When faced with this potentially devastating scenario, order a copy of SecureRecovery for Excel to restore your important data quickly.
