MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2006How can I undo someting that I saved
I accidently saved a spread sheet as something else and I need to get back the previous item? If that was a save as and you ok'd the replace - too late I'm afraid Steve > I accidently saved a spread sheet as something else and I need to get > back > the previous item? Hi Blaire, If I understand you correctly, then the original workbook is still intact under it's old name. Since when you use Save As you create a new workbook. Unless you never saved the file before. Excel is a spreadsheet application, but the word spreadsheet is rather ambiguous in Excel, as to whether one would be referring to a workbook or a worksheet. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm If that was a save as and you ok'd the replace - too late I'm afraid Steve On Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:51:01 +0100, Blair <Blair@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I accidently saved a spread sheet as something else and I need to get > back > the previous item? Agreed poster needs to be precise. I took it that *previous item* is the one that has just been overwritten. Ie save as but chose the wrong file to overwrite "Can I get back the previous file(item)" It's reasonably obvious that the original file is still present Steve > Hi Blaire, > If I understand you correctly, then the original workbook [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> back >> the previous item? If you opened the file and altered it, then used 'Save as' and renamed it, you should still have the original file, completely unchanged, in it's original location.
