Visible progress and current repair stage.Diagnosing this problem
Excel repaired records means Excel changed or removed one or more internal records while recovering the workbook. The recovery log is useful evidence: it may point to worksheet XML, formulas, styles, tables or other structures that should be diagnosed before the recovered file replaces the original.
Structural areas worth checking
- ZIP/OOXML integrity and CRC errors
- workbook and worksheet XML
- .rels relationships and missing targets
- tables, AutoFilter, ranges, styles, validation and defined names
Recommended workflow
- Keep the original and work on a copy.
- Run the free analysis and review the diagnostic result.
- Run repair only for a supported structural issue.
- Verify the result in Microsoft Excel or Word.
Important limitation
Not every damaged file can be repaired. Data that is physically missing cannot be recreated, and no tool can guarantee recovery of every case.
Can I analyze the file before buying?
Yes. Analysis is free; a license is required only for repair.
Will the original file be overwritten?
No. A separate repaired file is created.
