Text Extractors
Excel files are binary, but I think the actual data remains in text format in the file. A text extractor would then be able to pull it out for you in an albeit in a very unformatted file. In Excel 2007 standard files are conventionally zipped collection of mostly xml files. The text is in an XML file called strings.xml while the numbers are in separate files named worksheet1.xml, worksheet2.xml etc. Extracting text from the string file is possible if you are interested. A more meaningful conversion of both the numbers and text to CSV files is much more useful. The first program below does this.
I also have a new free web service and a piece of freeware for recovering data from corrupt Excel 2007 files available here: http://www.saveofficedata.com/. If my web service and Corrupt xlsx2csv don't work, or you need format recovery try ExcelFix.

Name - TextExtract
Download URL - textextract.zip
Developer - Ultima Thule
OS - Windows 9X/Me/NT/2000/XP
File Size - 670Kb
Supported Software Versions or File Systems - FAT12/16/32/NTFS
Developer Provided Description - "TextExtract is a small but powerful program that scans one or more files for text strings, extracts them and saves them into a separate file. Useful if, say, you have a corrupted word processor file, or if you just want to see what text, if any, is inside a file. Configurable extraction. Lovely interface. Very straightforward to use. TextExtract is free to use from its GUI (i.e. the buttons and that) and shareware if you use it from its command-line interface."
Comment - This allows you to recover the text from a file if nothing else.

File Size - 116 KB
Supported Software Versions or File Systems - FAT12/16/32/NTFS
Developer Provided Description - "A small, very fast and powerful text extractor that will be of particular interest to programmers. It can extract text from any kind of file and includes the ability to find plain ASCII text, Unicode (double byte ANSI) text and Resource strings, providing useful information for each item in the optional "advanced" view mode. Its comprehensive filtering helps prevent unwanted text being listed. The gathered list can be searched and saved to a separate file as either a plain text file or in informative tabular format."
Comment - This allows you to recover the text from a file if nothing else.
Name - ReadText (rt101.zip)
Download URL - rt101.zip
Developer - Runar Skaret
OS - Windows
File Size - 6.1 KB
Supported Software Versions or File Systems - All Windows File Systems
Developer Provided Description - "ReadText uses a routine to distinguish text from binary code. When given a filename, it removes whatever it finds that looks like binary code in the file. What's left behind is what the program believes to be text only. This program is meant to be used on program or data files, where you think there might be some text information hidden, like game cheats, program usage information, etc. The text in such binary files can already be read by any good text viewer, but all the binary code cluttering up can make it difficult to find what you're looking for. Using this program should, by removing most of this code, make your search a little easier."
Comment - This allows you to recover the text from a file if nothing else.

Download URL - http://docmorph.nlm.nih.gov/docmorph/

The DocMorph Web site allows users to convert files into PDF, TIFF, text, and synthesized speech. The downloadable MyMorph software allows users to mass migrate files to PDF only."
Comment - The idea here would be to extract text from a corrupt Excel file or turn it into a PDF and thus recover the data.
