I was working on an Excel Spreadsheet this morning and
accidentally deleted valuable information from the file
and then proceeded to save the file and exit Excel. When
I reopened, I pulled up the file and realized my
mistake. Is there any way to retrieve the document pre-
mistake?

You get your original data back only if you have a backup of the original
file.

You may have a backup if you are on a server and mass backups are regularly
made.

Look for any *.XLK files. If you have set options to always create a backup,
there could be a copy of the original saved as an *.XLK.

Are you running Norton Utilities Protected Recycle Bin? Easy to get an
earlier copy using Norton Unerase feature.

Otherwise...........out of luck, but much wiser......right?
