Microsoft Excel is a specialized application allowing you to edit, analyze and organize the data into tables and lists. Using an excel spreadsheet, you can maintain any sort of information in tabular form, can add macros, apply formulas, perform calculations, and represent the values. But very often, Excel files can get damaged due to events like power outage, virus infection and similar other causes. To restore such files, the best possible solution is to restore from backup. At times, you observe backup as unavailable or invalid. In such situations, you need to use Excel Recovery tools to effectively scan and repair the damaged file.

For an instance, while attempting to close, open or save an Excel workbook, you might fail to do so and receive an error message similar to:

“This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor”

Further, when you click to close the error message, the application quits. However, if you click Details to view the error description, you come across another error

message:

“EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:3001b693.”

Or

“EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in module EXCEL.EXE at 0137:3001b963.”

As additional symptoms, you might observe that if you can open the affected file, you see two worksheets each with visible property as xlveryhidden and named as five asterisks.
