File always corrupt
Anyone have the same problem with me? I use microsoft excel 365 on my mac. At the beginning everything alright, until i use formula and then save the file. When i want to re-open the file, the messagebox showed up "we found something wrong in your content...". It gives 2 option, yes and no. If i click no, the file wont open. If i click yes, the file open, the excel do the recovery, the file open but end up with all the formulas is gone, deleted by excel and just left the value. What should i do? Do the file can still be fixed?

It's hard to diagnose with the information you've given so far. So I hope you're able to answer a few questions.
- Does this happen with multiple Excel files--three or four different ones--or is this experience solely with a single file?
- What is the nature of the file in question (assuming it is just one particular file) --- what kind of data, what kinds of formulas? Please give examples.
- Would you be willing to attach the file to your next posting here in this forum? Or the post the file on Google Drive or some other publicaly accessible location, with a link pasted here that grants access?
