Yesterday, I added new data to an Excel file, but I accidentally shut down my computer before saving. Is there any way to recover the changes I made? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, there’s a good chance you can recover it.
Open Excel and check File > Open > Recover Unsaved Workbooks-Excel often saves temporary versions automatically.
Also look for AutoRecover files in Excel’s settings or see if the file was stored on OneDrive, as it may have version history. I’ve recovered unsaved changes this way before, so it’s definitely worth trying.
This has happened to me before - don’t panic yet. Excel usually creates backup or temp files in the background. When you reopen Excel, see if it prompts you with a recovered version. If not, check the unsaved workbooks folder or your cloud storage’s previous versions.
If you’ve saved the Excel file but accidentally delete it permanently, the workable solution is trying a data recovery software like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac.
