I'm guessing this is an issue with the fonts then. Ask the person who you got this file from to send you the fonts. Usually they're some .ttf files, and you can open Windows settings(windows + i), search for fonts, and then drag and drop those .ttf files there, and it will install it. They try restarting Excel if it worked.

Hello guys,

I was working on a excel sheet that my manager gave me.

Some/Most of the data in that sheet went crazy and got converted to some interstitial language.

Please help me got the data back, I don't use excel that often, google isn't helping.

Excel Gods, please ..''..

Open it in Excel? I can see this is LibreOffice Calc.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

That's not Excel.

 

Could be '97 format, it's still widely used for some reason.

MS Excel is showing similar result

Excel is showing similar results. I'm on Linux, the easy way for me to open it is online in OneDrive.

I wonder why some data is still in English?

Was this document previously written in Hindi or something? Were there some fonts used that aren't installed on your system?

I want to say you should be careful of posting what appears to maybe be customers private info, but I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue here. 

Honestly I'd check what format the original file was, might be an older version and not translating well. Might be a font issue, might just need to chat with microsoft support.

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.
