1. ****Excel Recovery 3.0****
Excel Recovery is a program that tries to make easy, Microsoft's methods for
recovering from Excel corruption. With the exception of the graph macro
recovery, open in Word (which is no longer available) and the revert to last
saved methods, it implements in one place all the suggestions for Excel recovery
laid out by Microsoft at these locations:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-corrupted-files-in-excel-
HA001034656.aspx
and
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-
HA010097017.aspx.
The program adds three non-MS methods for recovering data from corrupt workbooks
that won't open. These are the "Non-MS Extract I", "Non-MS Extract II-XLSX Only"
and the "Zip Repair-Try for XLS & XLSX" methods which all use included freeware
or open source executables from other projects to do their work, specifically
the doctotext, no-frills, coffec and zip projects. All the projects except
coffec are available on Sourceforge.
There is an earlier version of this program still available also on Sourceforge.
This program requires the installation of the .NET 2.0 framework. Hopefully most
Windows machines have at least installed this version by now. Additionally, most
of the functions require at least Excel 2003 to be installed on the machine.

I also try manual spreadsheet recovery for $22 but charge only for success. -
