JKPieterse thanks for your response
Even though I had doubts about recovery, this file can't be fixed, but I need the data urgently for my work.
By any chance you know any other way to repair the damaged files, please let me know I need the filesHarmandeepK There are some recovery tools out there, google for spreadsheet file recovery. Other than that, if you right-click the folder where the file is stored (or even the file itself) and select properties, is there a previous versions tab?
