How can I retrieve a deleted excel file?
I deleted my date column from my working version & instead of selecting "save
as", I hit "save", therefore losing my data. How can I retrieve the previously saved version? Please help! thanks, Jen |

How can I retrieve a deleted excel file?
Do you have a backup copy?
Can you talk to your IT staff to see if they've made backups? Did you send it someone else--maybe they can send it back or it might be in your Sent Folder? jenmun13 wrote: I deleted my date column from my working version & instead of selecting "save as", I hit "save", therefore losing my data.

How can I retrieve a deleted excel file?
silly me. of course not. it's just a working copy on my hard drive that gets
replaced by each day's updates. ....and we don't have an IT dept. i just heard there was a way to retrieve a deleted file (such as a temporary folder or cache ?) oh well. starting today... two words: backup copy! thanks! jen "Dave Peterson" wrote: Do you have a backup copy?

How can I retrieve a deleted excel file?
If you deleted a file, there could be a copy in the Recycle bin--depending on
how you did it. But if you saved over the file, the backup responsibility is yours. When I'm doing this kind of thing, I'll do: file|Open select the file and use the dropdown arrow on the Open button and choose Open ReadOnly. Or do my File|SaveAs as the first step--before any changes. If I overwrite the file, at least it hasn't been changed (yet). jenmun13 wrote: silly me. of course not. it's just a working copy on my hard drive that gets replaced by each day's updates. ...and we don't have an IT dept. i just heard there was a way to retrieve a deleted file (such as a temporary folder or cache ?) oh well. starting today... two words: backup copy! thanks! jen "Dave Peterson" wrote: Do you have a backup copy?
