Retrieving a Deleted Spreadsheet
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.

Retrieving a Deleted Spreadsheet
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? "Gord Dibben" wrote: Saving as does not erase or delete the original.

Retrieving a Deleted Spreadsheet
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, Shane Devenshire "Harriet" wrote: 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.

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.] -- David Biddulph "Harriet" wrote in message ...
