    I do not have access to your system or that specific file, so I cannot “recover” it. However, I can give you a step‑by‑step action plan to recover the missing data yourself. Please follow these instructions in order.

     1. Determine where the file is stored

    Your recovery options depend on the storage location. Check whether the file is:

    • On your local hard drive (C:, D:, etc.)
    • On a cloud service (One Drive, Goo gle Drive, Share Point, Drop box, etc.)
    • On a network server (company file server)

     2. If the file is on OneDrive / SharePoint (Microsoft 365)

    • Go to the OneDrive website, open the Recycle bin – you may find the file if it was deleted.
    • If the file still exists but has wrong data, right‑click it → Version history – restore a previous version from before 11‑06‑2026.
    • You can also use the “Restore your OneDrive” feature (in Settings) to roll back the entire OneDrive to a point in time within the last 30 days – choose a date before 11‑06.

     3. If the file is on your local hard drive and was deleted or overwritten

    • Stop using the computer immediately – any new write operation can permanently overwrite the deleted data.
    • Use a reputable data recovery tool (with an English interface) such as:
    1. Ease US Data Recovery Wizard
    2. Re cuva (free)
    3. Stel lar Data Recovery
    • Install the software on a different drive (e.g., a USB flash drive) to avoid overwriting.
    • Scan the original drive and look for Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) with names containing “DARLING” or by date modified. Recover them to another external drive.

     4. If the file still exists but is corrupted or shows missing data

    • Open Excel, go to File > Open, select the file, but instead of double‑clicking, click the arrow next to the “Open” button and choose “Open and Repair”.
    • If that fails, try changing the file extension from .xlsx to .zip, then unzip it. Navigate to the xl/worksheets folder – you will find XML files. Open them with Notepad to manually extract the raw data (it’s tedious but can save some information).
    • Upload the file to Google Sheets or WPS Online – sometimes these can open damaged files and allow you to save a working copy.

     5. If the file is on a company network server

    • Contact your IT administrator immediately. Ask if the server has daily backups (tape or snapshot) – they can restore the entire folder or the file to a date before 11‑06‑2026.
    • On Windows servers, you can also right‑click the folder → Properties → Previous Versions – check if any shadow copy exists from before that date.

     6. Additional checks

    • Search your email outbox or chat history (Teams, Slack, WeChat) – you might have sent the file to a colleague earlier.
    • Ask coworkers if they have a local copy – sometimes they save their own versions.

     7. If nothing works

    • Consider professional data recovery services (physical labs) if the drive has hardware failure – but this is expensive and only for critical cases.
    • For the future, enable AutoSave (with OneDrive) and set up regular backups to multiple locations.

     

    Important note about the date range

    The missing period is 11‑06‑2026 to 27‑06‑2026 – that is in the future (as of today, 30‑06‑2026, it is just a few days ago). If you are trying to recover data that was supposed to be entered during those days, perhaps the file was not saved properly. Check if you have an automatic backup or if your Excel has AutoRecover versions (File > Info > Manage Workbook > Recover Unsaved Workbooks).

     

    If you can tell exactly where the file is stored and what happened (e.g., deleted, overwritten, corrupted, or just missing rows), this allows the advice to be better tailored to your situation. But for now, please try the steps above.
