‘Open and repair’ doesn’t fix

by popeeric6 . Updated 11 years, 5 months ago

Had a partition wiped out, managed to recover some files with testdisk. Two (probably more) of the .xlsx files I’m attempting to open can’t be opened by excel. Instead it claims they are corrupt. The Excel feature ‘Open and repair’ doesn’t fix the issue. Have also tried a third party tool called sysinfotools xls repair with no progress as well as attempting to open the file in google docs.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these files, if at all possible, or are they most likely gone forever?

Any help is appreciated.
