How to repair xls file?

How to repair xls file? Microsoft Excel report me what file is not Excel format.

When an Excel file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try to repair the file manually in Excel, as follows:
(1) On the File menu, click Open.
(2) In the Open dialog box, select the file you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
(3) Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-corrupted-files-in-excel-HA001034656.aspx (for Excel 2003)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-HA010097017.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2007)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-HA010342840.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2010)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repair-a-corrupted-workbook-HA102749554.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2013)
2. Second, since Excel 2003, it provides a "Document Recovery" mechanism so that when Excel is shutdown abnormally, the Excel file being edited will be recovered when Excel is launched next time, which makes the file recovery possible.
See below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/recover-your-office-files-HP010354299.aspx?CTT=1
for more detailed information.
3. If 1 and 2 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Excel Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/excel-repair/
It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

  • Need a suggestion on how to process XLS files

    Hello.
    I need to process XLS files: compare 2 files and add in the first one lines from the second one. If some columns are the same, I need to add just amount (summarize numbers) and if some columns in second file are not in the first one, I need to add them to first one.
    I need a tool suggestion. First I thought it will be easily done with Python and I prefer Python but after some search I'm not so sure anymore... Seems like Python won't do it smoothly as from here it looks rather foggy how to do it.
    Please suggest something. XLS files contain tabs and I need to be able to read/write/modify inside of different tabs.

    graysky wrote:If this is a one-off
    It's not and those documents will have several thousand items each. So even one time I couldn't do it manually. Plus I'll have to do it weekly. Probably even more than once a week.
    The idea is this.
    Suppose we have "1.xls" with contects:
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | ID | Name | Amount |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | 1 | apple | 2 |
    | 2 | potato | 3 |
    | 3 | cherry | 10 |
    | 4 | water-melon | 1 |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    Then we have "2.xls":
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | ID | Name | Amount |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | 4 | water-melon | 1 |
    | 5 | pumpkin | 1 |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    And the script must sum them up basing on ID so the result must look like:
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | ID | Name | Amount |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    | 1 | apple | 2 |
    | 2 | potato | 3 |
    | 3 | cherry | 10 |
    | 4 | water-melon | 2 |
    | 5 | pumpkin | 1 |
    +----+-------------+-----------+
    We had 1 new element with ID 5 and it's now at the bottom. And we had 1 similar, with ID 4 — they were summed up to amount == 2.
    All this is xls and with tabs.
    Can I do it with php? “R” is just too new to me at the moment and this job will need to be done soon.

  • How to save .xls file through portal

    Currently i have a .xls file uploaded in my oracle portal. The idea is to enable all user to read only the .xls file and to enable only authorized user to read-write and save the changes made to the .xls file. How am i able to do this? Please give me a step-by-step solution since I'm very new to oracle portal 10g.
    TQ
    Edited by: user10869241 on Jan 28, 2009 4:44 PM

    If the Excel spreadsheet is published as a File Item, grant Manage access on the item (requires Item Level Access to be enabled on the page) to the authorized user (or group) that makes the updates to the spreadsheet so that s/he can upload the updated spreadsheet whenever needed. Then just grant View access on that same file item to the group(s) or individual(s) that just need to view the spreadsheet. They'll still be able to save off the spreadsheet to their pc, so utilize the protection settings in Excel, if needed.

  • How to generate .xls file on a button click in Forms 10g

    Hi

    Could you please tell me how can I do this?
    Regards

    Hello 576726,
    where do you want to store the file?
    On the client? If it uses Windows as OS and has Excel installed you can use CLIENT_OLE2, otherwise you can write files using CLIENT_TEXT_IO.
    On the server? You can use utl_file or a package that allowes to write formatted/multiple worksheets like
    https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or
    https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

    Thank You

    Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
    CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
    of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
    Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
    But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

    Hi All,
    We are using SRM and we use SAP EP for accessing the SRM Screens. When we are creating a shopping cart there is a option for uploading files and we upload xls file there. The issue we are facing here is whenwe view the shopping cart, there is a link for the  uploaded XLS file. When we click on this file the portal ask for user id and password, when we click on the cancel button the xls file gets opened. But whereas the userid and password screen is not appearing for the word document.
    Is there any settings which needs to be done for bypass the userid, password screen to open the xls file.

    I think the only way you're going to be able to do this in
    Flex is to process the file on the server side using something like
    the Perl Win32::OLE module to open the file from a Perl script, and
    access the data, place it in an XML structure, and deliver it to
    Flex, all via HTTPService.
    Here is a little sample code to get you started:
