I lost a significant amount of data from an excel spread sheet suddenly.
Hello, I am using Libre Office version 5.2.2.2. on a 2011 Macbook air running MacOs Sierra 10.12.6
I have been using the same excel sheet for months and saving it to Dropbox. Suddenly I went to open it and data is missing randomly from all of the tabs.
Using other computers to open the document with excel shows that it can't be opened with excel anymore.
I have no time machine backup and I have searched LibreOffice for a backup and there isn't a back up there.
First question is obvious and I fear hopeless: is there something i can do to get the data back? 2nd question: what the F happened?
You don't mention what file format you use to save, seems an MS file format. If xlsx you can decompress the file and try to find those data inside it.
But it's really strange a random missing data on different cells in different tabs, by a malfunction issue.
One possibility, is that having selected several sheets, deleting data in some of them it's deleted on the whole selected sheets.
I don't suppose you can help me "decompress the file and try to find the data inside it"
If you edit your question, you can upload your file here in edit mode.
I have added the file in question. If anyone is able to open it and get the missing data, I would appreciate it.
