Use your backup file.

If you don't have a backup file this time, then I'm sure that you will do
next time. [File/ Save As/ Tools/ General Options]
If you are trying to produce a new file from an old one, it's wise to get
into the habit of saving with the new name *before* you do any of the edits.

If, by chance, you are on a network you may be able to recover an earlier
version of the file. You would need to talk to the IT people to see if it is
possible.

Hi

If you are using VISTA, you may be lucky.
In Windows Explorer, right click on file PropertiesPrevious Version.
Vista makes a copy of the file when a System restore point is created

It's too late now, but for next time, you could use a program like Jan Karel
Pieterse's AutoSafe add-in, which saves a copy of each workbook at a
predefined interval. You can retrieve the archived file either from the
AutoSafe directory, or from the recycle bin. This utility has saved my bacon
more than a few times.
