Is there a way to recover an unsaved Excel file after a crash?
Asked a year ago
Yes, there is a way to recover an unsaved Excel file after a crash. Excel has an in-built feature called AutoRecover that automatically saves temporary copies of files at regular intervals. When Excel unexpectedly crashes, it prompts for file recovery when you relaunch the application. Simply click on the "File" tab and select "Open" from the left pane. Look for the "Recover Unsaved Workbooks" button at the bottom-right corner of the window, and click on it. Excel will then display a list of unsaved files that can be recovered. Choose the desired file and click "Open" to retrieve it. Additionally, you can adjust the AutoRecover settings in Excel to save files more frequently, reducing the chances of losing important data in case of a crash.
