    Corrupt / Encrypted Data

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with what I hope is a simple problem to fix for those in the know. I believe I have in advertedly pressed some wrong keys which has rendered my daughter's homework into "gobbaldly gook". Does anyone what Keys I need to press to get her homework looking normal. Below is an extract of what we now see .... I believe her homework was using the graphs functions within Excel.

    Re: Daughter's Lost Homework

    1. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 hours have passed ask a moderator to do it for you

    Martin, Zbor,
    Thanks for the advise. This is the 1st forum I have joined (ever) ..and I imagine it will take a while to find my way around.
    I am attaching the workbook and hopefully Zbor may get a chance to look at it.

    Doesn't look like a excel file.

    Looks more like a web page. If you change the .xls to .htm and open in a browser you will see references to myspace.com and skype.

    Sure your daugther was using excel and not Office live or google docs
    Cheers
