hot to access deleted information in excel sheets
 

Hi everyone,

a friend of mine did something stupid ;) she deleted some data in an excel
worksheet, saved the file and quit the program. Now she discovered she
actually still needs that data. No backup though. As far as I know, some
information about former states of an document is saved by Excel even if
versioning (or whatever it is called) is not enabled. Is it possible to
retrieve these and if how?

thanks and regards,
Goeran

No way that I know of other than maybe the power of prayer ... but I
wouldn't hold your breath. IMHO it's gone. It is called a "learning
experience".

Regards

Trevor

Any chance she shared (emailed) an earlier copy with someone else?

Hi Dave, hi Trevor,

thanks for your replies. Than I would agree, it's called learning experience
;) And no, she did not send it to anyone nor did she make backups ;) Thanks
anyway!

Regards Goeran
