With the permission of all those involved,
I would like to provide you with this information in addition to the very good
and very interesting problem diagnostics from Mr. mathetes
(which I recommend you carry out and provide feedback).
Thank you for your patience and time.

Thank youNikolinoDE for the suggestion to review the Recover an earlier version of an Office file. I have read the article and it will not work as there are no unsaved files.
In the event that it was once saved in OneDrive.
I don't know if this will lead to success, but you could try it.
Restore overwritten data in Excel - via OneDrive backup If you save your Excel files on OneDrive in order to share them with colleagues, to edit them together or to use them on multiple devices, you automatically have a backup of the last saved versions.
OneDrive uses a simple version management system that enables you to retrieve the latest backup status of all files at any time.
To do this, just do the following:
Right-click the desired file in the OneDrive folder (in Explorer).
Select the "Version history" from the context menu.
There you will find the last backups of the file.
Click on the three-point icon on the right of the version you want.
There you can restore the Excel file under its original name or download it and save it under a different name in order to compare the two versions.
Thank you for your understanding and patience
