Good day, I have a computer set of Excel files, all in working order, but today one of the files when opening gave an error: "Excel found unreadable content in <filename.xslx>." I tried to open it in the latest version of Office, with no result. I tried to recover it from the temporary files, also did not help. How to open a file?
Is the extension exactly as you have in your post? .xslx isn't a valid excel document extension. It's probably a typo, but best starting question.
Did some googling, found this. Some interesting options that may help you out. http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-ways-to-recover-a-corrupted-excel-workbook/

Martial Arts transcend reality and enter the digital realm. There are daily battles in the digital world. Errors vs fixes. Hackers vs Antivirus's. Neo vs Smith.
The most common reason behind getting the “Excel found unreadable content in <filename.xslx>” Excel error is: · Due to the entire excel file corruption · Corruption of one or more object in the excel file · Or else due to virus or malware as this damage the excel file data And to fix the error open your .xlsx file by making it read only, now click on the ‘Office button’ and then select ‘save’ for a new document or ‘save as’ for the previously saved document. · Next, you have to click on the ‘Tools’ and then select ‘General Option’. · And lastly click on the ‘read-only’ check-box to make document read-only. Now you have to open a new and blank ‘.xls/.xlsx’ file and then copy the whole data from the corrupted Excel file to this new one. Now simply save this file and try to open it again.
