Retrieving a Deleted Spreadsheet
 

Hi,
Is there any way that I can retrieve a deleted spreadsheet. I think by
accident I did a "saved as" and my mistatke erased the spreadsheet that
listed all of my income for 2008! HELP!

Saving as does not erase or delete the original.

If you just "saved as" a new name, the original workbook is still on your
computer, but without your latest changes.

Gordon,
I believe that I saved by accident spreadsheet "contributions" to "income"
and when I did that I said "yes" and now I have two spreadsheets for
"contributions" and my income spreadsheet was deleted. Is it possible to
retrive the deleted information?

Hi,

Excel can do nothing to recover the data. You should get your backup copy
or contact IT and ask them to restore the original from a prior day.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,

Use the backup copy. That is why you select "always create a backup copy"
under the options when you do a "Save As".
[If you didn't do so in the past, then hopefully you will do in the future.]
