I always save my spreadsheets when I'm finished inputing data. Almost always,
when I open the spreadsheet back up, data is missing. I spend so much time
going back to find info and puttting it back again. I am not confident my
info is always correct.Help!!
 
When you do a File Save, it should be saving with changes. I've not
encountered this type of behavior in Excel, when I lose data is when I decide
to close the file and get in a rush and and ignore the prompt to Save Changes.

What version of Excel are you using?
 
Are you sure you are opening the same file?

Are you saving or "saving as"?

If you are opening and reopening a spreadsheet attachment from an
e-mail, then you are overwriting your saved spreadsheet with the one
contained in the e-mail. You MUST do a Save AS with the attachment and
save it to a NEW location instead of the temporary folder provided for
VIEWING the attachments.
