I accidentally saved a new version of an Excel spreadsheet using the same
file name as the previous version. Is there any way to recover the old
one?
Not cheaply. Not easily.
If you really, really need the old version, shut down your system ASAP, then
use another computer to look up data recovery specialists in your area. They
may or may not be successful recovering the file, but the way Excel saves
files means it doesn't overwrite the same disk sectors. It can be slow and
error-prone to reconstruct files by salvaging disk sectors, but that's the
only way this can be done.
