Default is it possible to recover an unsaved excel file that was x'd out

I exited an excel file prior to saving it. Is it possible to recover the
file in its entirety?

You might be able to with a product from www.symantec.com, like Norton Goback
The more files you've saved since then, the less your chances of being able
to recover the file, because it might be overwritten by other files by now.

There is no way what so ever to recover a file that was not saved before
exiting it.

When a file is first created before saving, it is in volatile ram and
nothing can be recovered from there.

Besides things like Norton GoBack and system restore does not restore any
document files like Office files, only system files
