I saved it like 20x throughout the past few days but it reverted back to an old version and half my data is gone. It may have something to do with the fact that I shut my pc down last night and it wouldn't shut down so I press the restart button on the pc... not sure...

I made sure that the file was not saved in the same directory or another folder or my desktop. I used the search feature to look for the file name and all XLS files on my pc.

I did have auto-save enabled. I went into this file C:\Users\Bausch\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\

and the latest version is not in there... i also went into the temp file but can't find it there either...

I right clicked the excel file and tried to look at different previous versions but the latest restore point is dated 3/26 whereas I did work on i from 3-26-2012 to 4/1/2012... It's only showing like part of my work. missing a bunch of crap.

Any ideas why it didn't save proper on 4/1/2012? I hit save as and saved it like 15 x at least throughout different times of the day and everything was there....

however, its incomplete... its showing the version dated 3/26/2012

How do I get the correct one back? I'm fucked.
