Hi All, I have a corrupt excel file and it is super improtant as its my accounting sheet.
It has the error "cannot open the file because the file format or extension is not valid. verify that the file has not become corrupted and the file extension matches the format of the file"
I have tried recovering which has failed.
I have tried all in this -
Also failed.
Is there anything else I can do ?
Thanks

@BeyK40 Thanks but none of that worked and I dont have the money to pay for the recovery tool which may or may not work anyway.

A few more things to try:
1. Open the workbook on another computer. If it opens, save as and change the name. Try on original computer.
2. Open in Excel web app. Upload to OneDrive and attempt to open. If the workbook opens, you may download an offline copy.
3. If all else fails, you may re-name the file to be .zip and then open the .zip package to extract the sheets.
