'Thanks for all your efforts. I have investigated the issue at my end. My daughter saved a picture of her certificate and somehow it got saved in place of my workbook and hence the file while was .xlsx format was overwritten by a picture. So i guess I have lost the file. Many thanks for the support.'
Sorry to hear that. One of options to avid that, if you have 365 subscription, keep files on OneDrive mapped on local disk. With that you have quite long versions history from which previous version of the file could be restored.

please if you can help recovering the file / data.After I viewed your file with an editor vim,I have found it is not a valid Excel file.
Then I renamed the file name to Accounts.xlsx.pdf and found this.
You can try rename it to .pdf and open again.
