Hi,
I had a bunch of data in an excel file which was acting to log data.
The power went out.
All the data is "gone".

Is there a temporary file or somewhere I could look for this lost data?

I know Tmp files are made in Word but I'm not that Excel savy.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
If this is XP or 2003, then go to tools>options...>save tab and check the
location of the autorecover feature

If you then navigate to here, (check to see hidden files), you may find a
strange looking file, with no extension and a random number/letter, add an
..xls file extension and this should open in Excel

50/50 chance!
