excel file will not save
- Thread starter deebaglee
- Start date
I suppose it all depends on how you are saving the file? Are you using the FILE, SAVE AS option from the top left on the screen? Also note that if you are saving a spreadsheet that you have worked on received via email, it is saving it to a temp file, therefore you have to go FILE, SAVE AS and choose the correct directory. Does this help at all?
Or, rather than stating it does not save... do we get an error message? If so, please jot it down and let us know what it is.... that would help in providing a proper response to your issue....
If you do have an error message, try looking it up in Google ( or Theoma ( or even Microsoft (support.microsoft.com). OR, tell us what it is and we can go from there.

Sounds like you've got a corrupt workbook there
If the error messgae was simply "File Not saved", it is classic corrupt workbook
You can either request a copy of it from your network guy's last backup or you need to copy the sheets out to a new workbook
Do this by right clicking on the sheet and selecting "Move Or Copy" then tick "copy" and select your new blank workbook from the list of options. May take a while but it's about the only way to get rid of the "corruption"
