Are you having trouble opening your Excel files? Do you see an error message that says your Excel file is corrupt? Well, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people face this issue, and there are ways to fix it.

What causes Excel files to become corrupt?

Before we dive into how to fix a corrupt Excel file, let’s understand what causes it to become corrupt. There could be multiple reasons – the most common ones are:

1. Hardware failure – if there’s an issue with your hard drive or memory, it could cause data loss and corrupt files.
2. Software malfunction – if your Excel program is not functioning correctly, or there’s a bug in the code, it could cause your file to become corrupt.
3. Virus or malware – if your computer is infected with a virus or malware, it could cause data loss or damage to your files, including Excel files.
4. Sudden power outage – if there’s a sudden power outage when you’re working on an Excel file, it could cause the file to become corrupt.
5. Compatibility issues – if you’re using an older version of Excel, and you’re trying to open a file made in a newer version, it could cause compatibility issues and corrupt the file.

How to Fix a Corrupt Excel File

Now that we understand the possible causes let’s dive into how to fix the issue:

1. Open Excel in Safe Mode: Sometimes, a corrupt Excel file can be opened in Safe Mode. To do this, open the Start menu, type ‘Excel,’ and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This will open Excel in Safe Mode. If you can open your file in Safe Mode, try saving it with a new name and location. This might help fix the issue.
2. Use the Open and Repair Option: Excel has a built-in feature that allows you to repair corrupt files. To use this, follow these steps:
   1. Open Excel and click on File.
   2. Click on Open, and select the corrupt file.
   3. Click on the arrow next to the Open button and select ‘Open and Repair.’

   If the repair process is successful, Excel will open your file, and you can save it with a new name and location. However, this option might not work for severely corrupt files.

3. Use a Recovery Tool: If the above methods don’t work, you might need to use a third-party recovery tool. These tools can help repair corrupt files and recover lost data. Some popular recovery tools are:
   • Stellar Phoenix Excel Repair
   • Repair My Excel
   • Recoverit Excel Repair

   These tools come with a cost, but they might be your last resort to recover important data from a severely corrupt Excel file.

4. Set Calculation options to Manual: Sometimes, complex formulas or large data sets can cause Excel to crash and corrupt files. To avoid this, you can set your calculation options to Manual. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Open Excel and click on File.
   2. Click on Options and select Formulas.
   3. Under Calculation options, select Manual.

   This will prevent Excel from automatically recalculating your formulas and data, thereby reducing the risk of it crashing and corrupting your files.
