I am agree with Adam Gorge. I tired the Excel repair tool that he shared in the comment and downloaded it’s demo version. I repaired my file by this tool.

Before moving to this software, I tried open and repair option, change the trust center setting, removed COM addins, open my Excel file safe mode but no option worked for me.

Uploading to Google Docs worked for my corrupted Word files as well! I use the files on both a Mac and a PC and eventually couldn’t open some of the file on either. The error said that the file type did not match the file extension… which was not at all true. I uploaded these to Google Docs (you have to convert them to Google Docs; I uploaded them as Word Docs the first time, and they still couldn’t be opened) and was able to get all my work back.

Thanks!

In case of your XLS document is stored in Dropbox Folder, try exit from Dropbox (in windows) and open again your document. I think there is a problem while dropbox is running in the PC.

Open
& Repair is one of my favorite options.
But, I have noticed that it get failed when excel file get severely
damaged. In this case, I always preferred third party Excel Repair
Software. My favorite tool is Stellar Phoenix Excel Repair!!!
