Saving a file

[GN0001]

We have an excel file which is on the share folder.

it has been for a while that each time I came to save it, it says Excel found unreadable contents...,

Do you want to recover the content of this file. If you trust the source of this book click yes.


I copy and pasted the workbook into a new one, but still the problem resides.


Any help can be appreciated.

Regards,

GGGGGNNNNN

It is most likely that your file has become corrupted.


Make a backup copy of the file


Copy the file to your local PC and put it in a directory that doesn't have a very long path name like C: or C:Data


Open the file

If it says "Do you want to recover the content of this file" select No

Check the file press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-F9

When Excel is ready save the file and close Excel

Re-open the file


If the error persists goto next step


Close file

Re-open the file by doing the following

Open Excel

Goto, File, Open, Select your file DONT press Open yet

Select the small Down Arrow next to Open

Select Open and Repair


When the file opens, take note of any error messages it presents.

In the worst case you may have areas of Formulas that are lost and values replace them


If the above doesn't help can you open the file in the latest version of Excel 2013? It has better built in file recovery than previous versions had.


Do you have a backup you can retrieve if the above doesn't help?
