Default I LOST an Excel Workbook; How do I get it back?

When I attempted to open an Excel Workbook that I had worked on earlier in
the day all that remained was a BLANK workbook. I have no idea what happened
to it but I would like it back. I attempted the procedured in Recover Files
with no luck. Is there a way to get this workbook back? I do have a backup
that is from the end of the month and can recreate the workbook if necessary.

Is every sheet blank, or is it possible that you've selected an unused
sheet?
If it's all blank, you may have accidentally saved over the original
workbook with a new blank workbook, and the original workbook is gone.

Thanks for the information, it looks like I saved a blank workbook. Now, can
it be retrieved?
