Hello, you can check your autosave first, or use the CTRL+ Z to have a try. Here are the steps you can have a try.
- Go to the File tab and click on ‘Open’
- Now click on the Recent Workbooks option on the top left
- Now scroll to the bottom and click on ‘Recover Unsaved Workbooks’ button
- Scroll through the list and search for the file you lost.
- Double-click on it to open it
- The document will open in Excel, now all you have to do is hit the Save As button
And if it doesn't work, I thin you can try again a program called the Bitwar Data Recovery; it offers 30-day free trial, you don't need to pay. Hope can help you.
