An XLSX is a package of XML, strings, and worksheets.
Excel opens a workbook through an index of its parts.
Openable keeps the safe parts that survive and builds a separate macro-free copy.
Only complete cells are kept. Missing values are never invented.

File recovery FAQ
Can a corrupted Excel workbook be recovered?
Often. Recovery depends on which parts and complete rows remain readable.
What happens to missing values?
Openable keeps only the cells it can verify. It never guesses at missing values.
Will formatting, formulas, and images be recovered?
Formulas keep their last saved results. Review formatting, charts, images, and links in the new copy.
What happens to macros?
Macros are never kept or run. A macro-enabled workbook becomes a macro-free XLSX copy.
Can Openable unlock a password-protected XLSX?
No. Password-to-open encryption is refused, and Openable never bypasses a password.
