excel file 2003
Several days ago one of my excel documents was opened and viewed an error: This file is not in a recognizable format. I checked the file once again, but the same trouble. I opened another file, it opened correctly. Guys, how to repair excel file by manual methods or by solutions?

This type of error is generally faced when the concerned.XLS file doesn’t open. And due to this, the concerned Excel XLS file extension is not recognized by the software and therefore it is declared as invalid. Or else when you are opening the Excel file with the higher version, so verify if this is a case and also follow the steps given:
• Go to My Computer > Browse Tools > Folder Options > File Types.
• Assure that the ‘XLSX’ extension is included there or not.
• If not then rename this file and change ‘.xlsx’ to ‘.xls’.
Hope this will help you.
