Data in ongoing worksheet disappeared over night
JKPieterse Sorry, I misspoke, it was set up to save every ten minutes as a preset in Excel apparently as that was not set up by me. I switched it to five yesterday after I discovered the mess and was panicking. But 5 or 10...the autosave didn't work regardless, right? And neither did the onedrive apparently which is what I tried to communicate in my post. I never had to access onedrive until yesterday only to find it also was not doing what it was supposed to be doing. Basically I was wondering what happened to the two months of autosaves and manual saves (when working on it sometimes hours daily) in Excel and autosaves to the onedrive and if there was anything out of the ordinary that I could try to try and recoup it all.
- Can you add a screen-shot of where you set the 5 minutes save? I am guessing this is the autorecover setting, which is *not* a regular save!!!
If you are using Office 365, files stored in OneDrive or on Sharepoint are saved an almost any change so saving is no longer needed. Backside of that is that you explicitly have to set documents you need to remain as they are (unchanged) to read-only (or turn off their autosave setting using the button on the Quick Access Toolbar.Urgent help needed 3/10/22
Similar to what's reported here, I used excel to prepare my taxes inputting something every day. It was complete yesterday and I opened the document this morning and everything has disappeared. Recovery does not work. Same **bleep** thing happened last year. What happened?
