I was working on two excel files concurrently when one of them closed suddenly. Now, when I try to open the file, it opens a blank excel window, see screenshot. The other file opens fine. I'm using Microsoft 365 on Windows 11. I tried recovering it, but it's not available in the recovery folder. What can I do?
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

What happens if you open the workbook, then click Unhide on the View tab of the ribbon?
Is the workbook listed? If so, select it and click OK.
I'm having the same issue and the suggestion of Unhiding didn't help.
Now what?
That did it! Thank you so much!
