Then hours of your hard work are in vain. To fight this problem excel has already provided us file recovery option. But still, we lose our work because we don’t know how to use it.

You must save the workbook at least once.
If you create a new document and start working without saving it at least once, I can’t save you. Sorry! But if you have saved the workbook and you are working for hours but didn’t save it, no problem. We have something for you.
How Excel’s Auto-Recovery Works
There are two system for auto-recovery and they are built for two different purpose.
1. For version control.
2. For file recovery.

If you change this to 1 or 5 minutes your fille will be saved temporarily by excel keeping your data secure. You can get restore any version of your file you want.
To change the 10 minutes interval to a reduced time, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the “File” Menu
Step 2: Click on “Options” and then “Save”
Step 3: Check mark “Save auto recover information” and set the interval to 1 or 2 or 5 minutes
Done. This will allow excel to save your workbook after every 1/2/5 minute depending on your preferences. This will also help you to version control your excel file.
For file recovery: For this you’ll need only one settings. Check the steps to change it:
