С большими файлами просто умирает! Купил в надежде восстановить файл 19 Мб, в итоге пожалел о покупке...
The program was able to extract data from a damaged Excel file, even cells with formulas!
Almost any file that I was able to recover from a killed flash card was invalid. And here I have to say honestly, your program was very useful. She was able to fix more than half of the damaged .xlsx files. These were quarterly financial audits, these are very significant and large documents. Thank you so much.
Did an excellent job - I returned the Excel document to the previous working version, but there is one thing, but. If you want to recover VBA Macros, unfortunately, this program will not work for you. Macros have not restored, but the table has repaired completely
Guys I'm ready to pay for password recovery in .xlsm file, please help me to solve this problem!
Microsoft Excel displays the error "could not read the document file, this file was not saved" after a virus infected the computer. The virus removed, the problem remains. .xlsx files are no longer available. I bought the program hoping to fix my files, but I was able to repair only 11 files out of 14. It turned out that 3 files were protected by passwords that the program could not recover
"XLS file format is not valid", I received this error message today when I tried to open an Excel document. After restoring the file, formatting is lost: all my merge cells were separated as separate cells, which amounted to 50% of my document
By online recovery tool I restore .XLSX document. But hyperlinks in some cells and custom macros were not recovered from corrupted spreadsheet.
The best I've used before. Tables have been repaired in 1,2,3. I recommend everyone
This is a good software
Very good!!!
nice
Fine!
Thanks, i recovered my xls file. Goog!
My Excel sheets were restored with all formatting and other data. Need to improve the Excel export speed in tool.
In comparison with other tools for recovering excel docs the tool showed itself as the best. I received fully restored excel files. Very very simple tool.
Recovered the main data, numbers, formulas and formats. Fast! Good price. Very thorough with the security of the online purchase. But did not recover the inserted pictures, but that was most likely what caused the corruption in of the file in the first place. SUMMARY: The recovery screen is pretty much an excel sheet. Very easy to use - intuitive - and quite fast. It only shows the file with the orginal appearence when it recovers it to the Excel sheet. Good value for money if you compare it with the price of other products on the market. Great!
