Frequently Asked Questions

Can this recover deleted worksheet data?

No. This tool does not recover deleted cells. It removes common corrupted metadata that can stop Excel from opening or saving a workbook correctly.

Does it support .xls files?

No. It supports ZIP-based .xlsx files only. Legacy .xls workbooks use a different binary format.

Will removing defined names delete formulas?

It can affect formulas, print areas, or features that rely on named ranges. Always inspect the repaired workbook before using it as the replacement.
