An employee worked on an excel spreadsheet for 3 hours and never saved
her work. The program was shut down and the computer was shut down.
Can data be retrieved from some magical autosave function. Any help
would be greatly appreciated and save critical time and money.

When you reopen Excel it should give you a list of files
that were open when the program crashed. The latest
autosave of the spreadsheet should be there

Good luck

What version of Excel? Had the file ever been saved previously?

Most likely you will have to recreate it
