Microsoft Excel is the most commonly used spreadsheet application among home users and financial experts. The file you create in MS Excel is saved in .xls or .xlsx format depending on the MS Excel version using which the file is created. If you create the file in Excel versions up to Excel 2003 then the file will be saved in .xls format. And if the file is created in Excel 2007 then the file extension will be .xlsx. However, the Excel file can be corrupted anytime due to abrupt system shutdown. Sometimes, due to sudden system shutdown, header structure of the Excel file gets damaged leading in MS Excel to display an error message. The error message indicates the file corruption due to which MS Excel cannot open the file.
