 Have you ever faced a situation where you are working on your file then all of a sudden your system goes off or your Excel work will close and you feel oh my gosh it has been hours before I last saved my file. How did I recover this file? Yes, you can easily recover this file in few easy steps on your Excel. You can recover lost files in few easy steps on your Excel and I'll be showing us how we can do that. So this is an Excel workbook which I have dominated set created by me just to test this out. I'll click on this closed icon so I'll close this workbook without saving it. Close it to actually do I want to save it. I don't want to save it. I click on don't save. Then I have a blank Excel workbook here already on my screen loaded. So I click on my file tab moment I click on my file tab. I can see among the homepage I can see couple of files that have worked on previously that I saved so I can even see the date and time when I worked on those files. So but you can click on more workbook by clicking on more workbook you'll be redirected to this portion of my screen. So this more workbook you can see a lot of stuff in more workbook. I will go deep down to see more information on the files you've worked on previously but click on recover unsaved workbook. The moment I click on recover unsaved workbook so I can see unsaved workbook in my Excel are stored somewhere in my system. So I can see a lot of unsaved workbooks that I have on my Excel. So you can use the date and the time at which you last worked on the file to recover that. So by my time today today is the 28th of February. So by this time this was the last file I worked on and I clicked on open click on open. In the moment I click on open I have that file which I didn't save. So I can do a save as and save it somewhere else back in my system. So that's how I was able to recover this file which I lost easily. So you can do this for files which you've lost for up to hours ago files which you've lost for 10 minutes. And you can even do this for files which you've just lost you forgot to say for a single minute. How can you do this? By default Excel sets your auto recovery options to 10 minutes. You can't afford to lose 10 minutes what's of what's of work. So if you click on your file tab click on your file tab you scroll down you see something called options. So my view may be different based on the version of Excel which I'm using. But if you can navigate the options tab on your Excel you can equally do this as well. So if you click on options the moment I click on options I see a lot of Excel options. So we will release other videos stating what you can do on general formulas as well. But for this tutorial I'll be showing on what we can do on save. So save we can see save auto recovery information every. I've already changed mine to one minute but by default yours will be set to 10 minutes. So you can change this to one minute and this will also affect all your office files. So thank you.
