Excel Worksheet Data Lost
 

I created a phone call log using Excel 2007. Worksheets were created for each
entity with whom I make regular phone contact. Columns include dates, times,
notes, etc., with rows representing each call entry. When entered, data is
manually saved often. I openend my log today and noticed a 2 week time gap of
lost row entries for one worksheet. Other worksheets also displayed the same
gap! I can't imagine that I would carelessly delete data from these cells.
What happend? Can I recover the data? Thank you!

Do you have backups of your files?

Maybe you can steal the data from that 2 week interval from a backup and merge
it into its real home.

If I were a betting person, I'd say it was a user error. Maybe you didn't
update the correct workbook (same name but in a different folder???) or maybe
you did the updates and forgot to save those changes.

As much as I'd like to blame excel when I experience these kinds of problems, I
_know_ it's my fault.
