Is There a way to recover a severely corrupted EXCEL FILE?

I'm currently working on my data using Ms.Excel.

But suddenly the file that I'm working in was broken. when I tried to open it again I get error where it contain "ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ" (See Picture). Screenshoot Corrupted Excel File

The data was not really big, it's only arround 130KB. Besides, Autorecovery Mode was Turned On every 10 minutes. But I don't know How To use it.

I tried to solve the problem many times using below method:

  1. First, I tried to check the "Ignore .... " in Excel Option.
  2. Second, I tried Open and Repair the file, but still can't open it.
  3. Third, I tried to use a third party, Using 2 Software (Stellar Phoenix Excel Repair And Recovery Tools For Excel). but Both not Working.

So I wonder if anyone can help me to get my data back? is there any way to recover the file? or is there a way to get the data within the file?

Thank you for all the suggestion you gave me, From the last comment I tried to get and extract the data using Programmer editor and using VBA, but both not give a good result, basically when you tried to extract the data when the file is corrupted it only get a unique character.

So here is my solution, since i'm using windows, I tried to Reinstall my Ms.Office and recover my Excel file on mac, and boom the magic worked.

Once again, thanks for your help.
