Cannot save worksheets due to the error "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to save your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted". Is there any way to safe my files?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You could try opening Excel in safe mode, hold ctrl when you double click to open the file.

The thing is, I already updated the sheets and I am trying to save my work but this error is stopping me.
