How to Recover an Excel File from Autosave

1. Open Microsoft Excel to enable the recovery features available in the Office 2010 suite.
2. Recover a file you haven't yet saved. Select 'File,' and then 'Recent.' Choose 'Recover Unsaved Workbooks.' From the saved drafts folder that displays, choose your file and click 'Open.' Select the 'Save' icon and name your file to save it properly.
3. Recover a previous version of a file to which you forgot to save changes. Open the file upon which you were working. From the File tab, select 'Info.' From the versions listed, select the one labeled '(when I closed without saving).' Click 'Restore' to overwrite any previously-saved versions to this last autosaved version of your workbook.
