Need to retrieve a deleted Excel File

On Saturday I hide an excel sheet and then protected the
workbook. When I got into work today to open the file it
was non-existent. What do I have to do to retrieve the
file? Does it make a difference if the file extension
ended with .csv?

Thanks in advance!
 
Search in Windows to make sure it's still on your compute
-or
go to the folder the file is in and look to make sure it's still ther
-or
If you didn't do this, you might need to to text, which includes *.cs
Excel is not set to open this type of file by defaul

Did you (try to) open the file with Excel.

If so : did you set the "Files of type" dialogbox in the dialog which opens
if you click File Open in Excel (or the button for it) such that csv files
are shown.

If you have a workbook and hid a sheet and protected the workbook, but did not
save as a workbook file (kept in csv format), I seriously doubt it the hiding
and protection were kept. In Excel go to file, open, Change to Text formation
(types of files) and look for the .csv file. Unless you actually deleted the
file, then it should be there. If you did actually delete the file, then go to
the Recycle bin and see if it is still there, if not you probably are out of
luck
