Thanks, but doesn't work. I've managed to recover my data by saving the
spreadsheet with a different file name onto a USB stick and then reopening on
another computer, but I can't still open the file on original laptop with any
data showing in cells, even with the new file name. Affects only 2
spreadsheets of several! Weird. Any more ideas gratefuly received.

Try this ...

Select the entire spreadsheet.

Then select FORMAT.CELLS.NUMBER

Select GENERAL and click OK.

This will undo any formatting that prevents the display of cell content. It
may solve your problem and it may not. Good Luck
