Restore Excel Spreadsheets from Formatted, Damaged, and Inaccessible Media
Magic Excel Recovery comes with a highly sophisticated data recovery engine borrowed from Magic’s top-of-the-line tool. This engine can reliably recover information from all kinds of problematic devices including corrupted and inaccessible memory cards and USB drives, formatted disks and repartitioned hard drives.
Content-Aware Analysis
The content-aware analysis is engaged automatically when you choose to scan the disk in Comprehensive mode. Content-aware scan reads the entire content of the device, looking for characteristic patterns identifying Excel documents. If such a pattern is detected, the Excel repair tool will determine the location of a file, validate its integrity, and add it to the gallery of recoverable documents if the file is indeed recoverable.

Features Overview
Recovers documents from corrupted and inaccessible partitions
Magic Excel Recovery shares its data recovery engine with Magic Partition Recovery, a tool dedicated to recovering information from all types of damaged, corrupted, inaccessible, and repartitioned storage media. This highly sophisticated engine allows the XLS recovery tool to reliably locate and recover documents kept on formatted memory cards, repartitioned hard drives, as well as problematic storage media.
If you see an error reading “Windows cannot access the disk” or suggesting that the drive has no file system and needs to be formatted, this can mean that the file system is corrupted. Magic Excel Recovery can deal with such media by performing a thorough scan looking for any sign of a file system, however corrupted it might be. If a file system is found, the damaged Excel file recovery tool can then parse its records and extract available information. If no file system is discovered, a content-aware search is performed, reading the entire disk surface and looking for characteristic file signatures typically encountered in document formats. A combination of these methods enables reliable document recovery from badly damaged, corrupted and inaccessible disks.
Restores files from deleted and formatted drives
The Excel data recovery software supports the recovery from deleted partitions, formatted volumes and repartitioned hard drives. The tool scans the entire surface of the hard disk or reads the full content of a solid-state drive in order to reliably detect, locate and read the content of a deleted partition. If the disk has been formatted, the XLSX recovery tool can read raw sectors from the disk in an attempt to detect the beginning of multiple known file types. During this process, the tool will not need the file system to be present, and will successfully restore the files even if the file system is emptied by the format operation.
Deleted partitions can be similarly detected by reading blocks of raw data from the disk surface, matching and analyzing raw data structures in an attempt to detect the beginning and size of deleted partitions. Once all partitions are successfully detected, the tool can perform further analysis by accessing their file systems and reading files off deleted partitions. More often than not, deleted partitions are much less of a problem than formatted hard drives or deleted files.
Content-aware analysis recovers files deleted months and years ago
The content-aware analysis is the most comprehensive recovery mode available in any product. In this mode, Magic Excel Recovery can recover information that was deleted months and years ago. In addition, content-aware analysis is used to recover information in the most difficult cases such as formatted hard drives, corrupted and inaccessible storage media, or devices that cannot be accessed with Windows.
The content-aware scan is automatically engaged when you select Comprehensive Analysis. In this mode, the Excel file repair tool scans the entire disk surface at a low level, reading the entire content of the device looking for characteristic signatures that would give away the presence of a recognized file type. If a familiar signature is detected, Magic Excel Recovery reads the rest of the data, analyzes the file header and attempts to determine the exact physical location of the file. Unlike Quick Scan, the content-aware analysis does not rely solely on the file system and will work reliably even if there is no file system on a disk or if the file system is severely damaged.
100% recovery guarantee
Magic Excel Recovery is not just another “undelete” tool. Instead of looking for office documents by extension, Magic Excel Recovery has a deep understanding of data formats and the internal structures of those files. Due to the way Windows handles deleted information, some blocks of data previously occupied by the deleted document might be overwritten with other data before a recovery attempt is made. Such files, even if recovered, will be unusable.
There are many more corrupted remnants on the disk than documents that are truly recoverable, which could easily create a mess and clutter the list of recoverable files. The Excel document recovery system performs an obligatory integrity check before adding a file to the list of recoverable documents, validating the document’s headers and internal structures for consistency. This final check ensures that the file, once recovered, will work without problems when you open it with an editor. As a result, we give a 100% guarantee that every document that makes it to the list of recoverable files is actually fully recoverable.
Restores data lost after a virus attack or because of program errors
Information can be lost for many reasons. Virus attacks, application errors, and Windows failures are three of the most common reasons causing the loss of data. Each of these issues can be dealt with by using a XLS file recovery tool, although the approach can be different in every case. For example, virus attacks may cause several different types of damage. A virus can simply delete a bunch of files (such as your office documents). Some viruses will attempt to blackmail users by encrypting the content of those files and deleting the originals. In either case, a data recovery tool can undelete the documents and attempt to recover the original files.
Sometimes, malware will interfere with write operations, causing file system corruption and sometimes even rendering the entire disk unreadable. If this is the case, a data recovery tool can scan the entire disk surface, extracting all usable information from the disk before you run a scandisk tool. Application, service and operating system errors may corrupt user data as well as disk system structure; a data recovery tool can recover files from corrupted partitions.

What Others Are Saying
After trying several free undelete tools, I found Magic Excel Recovery. It was the only one able to recover Excel spreadsheets I had on my computer. Only used it once so far, but may as well use it in the future! Thank you for a great tool!
We looked at a number of office recovery tools, and choose this one because it delivers the best performance for the price. We only used it for one occasion, so we could not justify paying double its price for a more expensive tool.
Magic Excel Recovery did a great job on finding Excel spreadsheets deleted some time ago. It made the recovery easy with its simple, clean layout and fast operation. I will not hesitate buying other products made by your company.
