I am not able to open my excel file. It says" office can't find the file. It may have been moved, renamed or delated.

I have done nothing such above mentioned. I am using MS exel in day to day life, it was working perfectly fine till yesterday. Now I'm stuck.

Kindly assist me to get back my sheet. I have tried numerous ways and follow the steps but all went unsuccessful.

    Dear Anjan Adhikari1, Good day!Before I give any further advice, could I confirm the following information so that I can narrow this phenomenon:

    1. Where your files are saved, locally, or in a cloud like OneDrive?
    2. How did you open the file? Click directly on the file to open it or open it through an Excel application?
    3. If you open a file in Excel, could you see the path to the file when you open the file?
    4. If the file is saved in OneDrive, I want to make sure that someone else shared it with you

    Knowing the above information can help me narrow down this phenomenon, and I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely,Tin | Microsoft Community Moderator

    Appreciated your quick response on my query raised.

    I have created sheet from excel app, and shows in one drive cloud as well as saved on local folder "Document" on Android mobile. I always opened from the recent and auto save always since 3 years date collection. The file did not share from anyone, myself. As usual day I opened to feed some date, it could not be opened and message come in dilogue box which I have mentioned with you in earlier post.

    Dear Anjan Adhikari1, Good day!Thank you for the screenshot as well as the detailed description.***saved on local folder "Document" on Android mobile.***First, I would like you to ask you to confirm that this file can be found in the "Document" folder. If you can find the file, try to open it. If you can't open this file locally, I noticed that you uploaded the file to OneDrive, so I'd like to ask you to use your browser to make sure you can find this file in OneDrive on the web and open it. You can visit the Office portal, log in to your account and click OneDrive to check it.If the file exists in OneDrive on the web and can be opened, I recommend that you re-download the file locally.****If you can't find your file in OneDrive on the web, please contact me again. I'll investigate further for you.Sincerely,Tin | Microsoft Community Moderator

    I have followed your instructions precisely. I could not find this file in the web, but it shows in Excel 365 app, when I download the file, it opened blank page, no bata in it, all save date has been disappeared.

    I'm so exhausted. Please help me to recall the data on the sheet, it has lots of important data on it. I'm so worried.

    I have filled the data as usual day on 11th Sept 2080 night and close properly. And very next day when I tried to open, it could not. But file was still exist on the folder and not able to access. And rest is incident I shared with you.

    Warm Regards,

    Anjan
