data missing
I work in excel creating data tables with data added. I do allot of saves
because I don't want to reinvent my data tables. Would or has anyone experienced lost data using excel. I would save my work, close out and re-open my work the next morning. I have worked with excel for some time and haven't lost any data until recently. I need help to correct this problem. The computer staff think I am nuts, but I think it is the computer or software. Help or suggestions would be greatful in finding a solution to this problem. -- mollybigd |

data missing
Molly,
I'm afraid that sounds odd. I've not experienced a sudden loss of data in any Excel workbook for as long as I've used the application, some 10+ years. Have you tried searching all your drives to ensure that you did not accidentally save the file to a different location? You may need to pay careful attention to what applications are running simultaneously to your working in Excel if you continue to have problems. -- Melisa Morris www.awomantoldme.com "molly" wrote: I work in excel creating data tables with data added.

data missing
Melisa:
I don't think I am saving to any other file but that of my excel file. The reasoning to this is because the tables are there, but there is no data in the tables. The tables are blank. I could see my tables along with my data being saved to another location, but not the data without the tables. It doesn't make sense. You see what I am trying to say? -- mollybigd "Melisa Morris" wrote: Molly, I'm afraid that sounds odd.

Truly blank? When you select a cell does anything show in the formula bar? If so, do you have the font color set to white?

Gord:
Nothing---truly blank. Would you think uninstalling excel and reinstalling excel would correct the problem? I mean this is so weird. All my other worksheets with data in them work, data is always there, but this worksheet is funky. Suggestions???? Thanks -- mollybigd "Gord Dibben" wrote: Molly Truly blank?

Is it possible you are opening a blank Template(*.XLT), entering data and saving
then re-opening the blank Template rather than the saved workbook? I doubt if re-installing would help but I have no other ideas right now.
