    Where are my automatically saved files?

    In Excel 365 I'm loooking for a recent version of a workbook, so that I can restore a few changes. But where can I find older files please?

    I have what I thought was the appropriate the option set:

    ExcelAutoRecover-Where.jpg

    But the only content of C:\Users\terry\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel is:
    The folder XLSTART (containing PERSONAL.xlsb)
    and a file Excel15.xlb

    I could go to my nightly backups, but shouldn't I be able to see more recent saves?

    The AutoRecover file location only applies to files which aren't saved after changes are made. If you make changes then save the file then close Excel, Excel assumes that you want those changes to apply - there's no going back (except using backups or other third-party methods). Sorry...

    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
