I would say there is no way to retrieve that data. From what you describe,
it appears that you did not do a Save periodically. You should do so and
frequently. You just saw why. HTH Otto

I was trying to sort the date column and accidentally hightlight the all
the
data in the worksheet.

Since it did not sort the date column as I thought it would I closed the
worksheet and when prompted to save changes clicked no.

Went back to open the same document all the data that I had entered was
GONE

Any help in retrieving the data that you can provide would be greatly
appreciated
