How to fix Excel found unreadable content
The “Excel found unreadable content” error message appears when Microsoft Excel encounters issues while trying to open a specific workbook. The complete error message states, “Excel found unreadable content in ‘[filename].xlsx’. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes.”
Upon selecting the “yes” option, you may encounter one of two scenarios. In the first scenario, Excel will attempt to repair or remove the unreadable content in the workbook. Although the file will open, data loss or inconsistencies can occur, particularly with images. In the second scenario, you will receive the error message “The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.” This indicates that the Excel file is severely damaged and cannot be accessed.
The “Excel found unreadable content” error indicates that Excel has detected problematic content within the workbook. By choosing to recover the contents, there is a chance that some data may be lost or inconsistencies may occur. The file may be so corrupted that it cannot be opened in certain cases.
