How to prevent data loss using AutoSave feature of MS Excel

Noting is as frustrating as losing important data just because of not saving the changes made. Just consider a situation when you spend hours on an Excel sheet and when the work is about to finish you lose all you work due to power failure. In such a situation there is nothing to do except repenting. This is a very common issue that we usually face but apart from clicking save button in every minute there is one another solution to avoid this.

No need think too much. Just activate AutoSave feature and get all the changes saved automatically. Once AutoSave feature is activated, you can carry on with your work without bothering for data loss. AutoSave feature does not create a separate file but save all changes in the same file. Let us see how you can activate AutoSave feature in MS Excel. It’s simple, just follow these steps and AutoSave feature will be activated:

• On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins.

• In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the AutoSave Add-in check box, and then click OK.

To modify default settings of AutoSave, follow these steps:

• On the Tools menu, click AutoSave.

• In the AutoSave dialog box, select the AutoSave options that you want.

• Click OK.

This way you can prevent data loss due to unexpected power failure, software failure or any other reason. There is one more thing that is more problematic than data loss and i.e. corruption in Excel file. Whenever you face Excel file corruption you can rely on office recovery software for complete and accurate results.
