I have a file that I update pretty much everyday. Today, I was reviewing the file and all looked good and I made no changes. I have auto save turned on. Later this evening, I went back to look at the file and excel attempts to open it by I get an error that says “Sorry, something went wrong, and Microsoft can’t open this file.” The file is saved on my OneDrive account, and interestingly enough, I can’t share a copy of the file via emailing it either...

Is there a way to retrieve an earlier version of the file; or some other method that I can try to restore/repair the file?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
I don't know about 365 but if you click on
File>>Open>>scroll down to the bottom of the window and select "Recover Unsaved Workbooks"...see if that works !
Otherwise upload the file to Dropbox or similar and someone here may try to open it !

but you can post a link here to this shared file from OneDrive (if there is no any sensitive data)

That doesn’t appear to be an option in Excel on the iPad....

Link, I think? https://1drv.ms/x/s!AruVFs8TqBiAqhCsOuEKMsdfzKAl
