This problem may occur if you select a noncontiguous selection in your workbook and the Excel workbook is saved as an XML Spreadsheet (*.xml), a single file Web page, or a multiple file Web page.

To repair any kind of corrupted Excel database, you need excel repair software. when my excel database goes corrupted then I used Stellar Phoenix Excel Recovery Software from here: <http://www.repair-excel-file.com/> and after using this software I was able to recover my corrupted excel database.
