    Hey Guys,


    Just did about 6 hours work on a roster there and when i went to close the file, i think i may have closed it in ODF format(xml document it says in properties of each page) by mistake. It is compressed in that format, broken up now. Is there any way of retrieving this file in its old format at all?

    Would really appreciate any help here before i decide to start from scratch again:mad:

    If you reopen the spreadsheet (presumably in libreoffice calc) and file->save as, and choose a Microsoft Excel format. That'll put it out in the Microsoft format.

    Not sure what you meant by "broken up now". Apologies if i'm missing some part of the problem :)
