You can easily access the cellvalues of the corrupted file. Just set
up a new file and link the needed cell area to the referring area in
the corrupted file. Example for A1: =CorruptedFile.xls!A1 
Then copy this formula over the whole new sheet. Last, copy the area
and insert it as values into a new sheet 

That saves you at least the values, however, you will have to format
it again and enter formulas.
