no cells, grey screen, all tabs greyed out
I just opened my spreadsheet (xlsx file), no data or cells are present and
all the tabs are greyed out. The screen (where cells/data s/b present) is just a grey blank screen. On the very top where the file name s/b in the border, it just says Microsoft Excel. What has happened? Can I recover my data? |

You need to open a workbook file (the Office icon is not greyed out) or
start a new (use shortcut CTRL+N) best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "John" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your reply sir...but this is an existing WB containing data,
formulas, etc. Any thoughts?

As suggested, it does work, just a few more things to do, so the whole process is...
Open your file, File, New, Blank Workbook, Window, Arrange, Horizontal, OK. Your data will now be displayed. Close the new file. Save your data file. McBride. Quote:
