I have done a load of work this morning on an existing excel workbook and stupidly closed it without saving! Now of course I can only pull up the original workbok minus everythng I've done today.

Is there any way of getting it back? I haven't turned the PC off since.

    Do you have autosave on? I believe you should do as that's the default. It may not contain your latest changes. What version of windows and excel are you using? It makes a difference in terms of where the autosave files are stored...
