Answer 1

Yea it has to be somewhere...click your start menu and open your most recent items..it should be there!

Answer 2

If you can't find it in your recent documents, you can even go to your "Search Files" or "Search Documents" under your Start button and type in the name of the file. It should definitely show up then. I don't see why it wouldn't save when you clicked on the save button.

Answer 3

if u already write it down so u can find it in recent file menu of excel

dont say it is not there(if u already used it) again

Answer 4

If you clicked save it should be somewhere, search for the file that was modified last. And look at your other excel documents perhaps they got over written by this one.  

Answer 5

On the search box, type *.xlsx  or *.xls

I am sure that if you have save it, it will give you all the files that has that kind of extension.

good luck!
