How to fix "Style from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)" Excel 2007 Error

How to fix "Style from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)" Excel 2007 Error

Recently, I had an Excel file which opened with the following Error:
[img alt="Excel found unreadable content in 'Filename.xlsx'" title="Excel found unreadable content in 'Filename.xlsx'" width="100%" rel="nofollow" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2tyElwVczVCR6_06wIQvG3klZdlFlW5BuP17FhGis_aW_uT9RLfkOsZx8Df7kwl5vv4G6R46u7SJCQr0dxy0ggvBXWF4wY1RgpG-15dt-IoLIuiOv9vwp7yGhjmgUAdYm7Ljp4xUgCTl/s1300/1.png"/]
Excel found unreadable content in 'Filename.xlsx'. Do you want to recover the content of the workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click yes.

If I click on 'Yes' option, it says that Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content. Excel recovered your formulas and cell values, but some data may have been lost.
When I checked this message, I was afraid to use this option because I didn't want to lost my data at any cost.

The filed opened with the following message:
[img alt="Removed Records: Style from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)" title="Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content" width="100%" rel="nofollow" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuK0pmDlOtMQFeDhIG3c96ufGz1BGyNjnorMwpLibYqtF7bvvF5hb_JEZWfCNFxXMgKE4R41e_KlkclRMtr8vrPrH3r4tDDCTqj09fJJxOtbuB-h0bOeEIyYbNXD6IQ2ffhyGX2Szpq9I/s1100/2.png"/]
Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.
Removed Records: Style from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)

It would then also provide a link to an xml based log file listing the repairs. The content of the log is provided below:
[img alt="error050280_01.xml" title="error050280_01.xml" width="100%" rel="nofollow" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1M82LaCLeQuBYyoFTqd8VGVF7-_Ii99nuCswYywm2SSZKcvhixNA1bcMAp6hrvzm_RLtl1veJEvFHoRIXrOL_4ifnv35ujBw0PH1QyeWYTnG37qsIILayCb_C9U9XurAP3fP335rJcqCT/s1300/3.png"/]
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes” ?>
– <recoveryLog xmlns=”http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main>
<logFileName>error050280_01.xml</logFileName>
<summary>Errors were detected in file ‘C:\FileName.xlsx'</summary>
– <removedRecords summary=”Following is a list of removed records:”>
<removedRecord>Removed Records: Style from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)</removedRecord>
</removedRecord>
</ recoveryLog >

The problem kept repeating itself in that Microsoft Excel 2007 would every time repair the removed Styles but the problem would remain – and that problem was that there was conditional formatting of removed cells.

Causes:

This error may be arise due to file corruption or there is also possibility that one or many of file components get corrupted.

Solutions:

If any previous versions of file is available then you should start rebuilding it from there.
Try to modify the properties of 'xls' file into Read-only, and try to open it again.
Create a new xls file & try to copy everything from corrupt file to new one then save and try to open it again.
Install the Visual Basic component in Office 2010. Sometimes it resolved the error. Follow these steps: Control Panel > Programs > select Microsoft Office 20007 and click on Change > Add or Remove Programs > at the bottom of the list click on the plus next to Office Shared Features > select Visual Basic for Applications > I right clicked and chose Run from My computer > Continue. Reboot when it has finished.

Here is one another solution if needed:

The one more successful solution for Microsoft Excel users. These software helps when all methods get failed to repair corrupt Excel file & its objects.
XLStylesTool WinForms application (or new in browser Silverlight version of XLStylesTool) is my answer to the annoying “Too many formats” or “Microsoft Excel can’t paste data” messages that come up in Excel and sometimes destroy hours of work. ReadMe file is enclosed. Designed to work with OpenXML file formats (i.e., XL2007 and higher).

If you are still getting same error then I will suggest you to completely removed the MS-Office & fresh install MS-Office.
