Hello, we have about 4 users at our company. They chart out all their expences on certain dates. They update this everyday. They save their work everyday, File save. They even save it in 2 places. Their Desktop, and My documents as back up. So when they go back in the next day, RANDOM stuff is deleted. I'm no guru on MS Excel. Can anyone think of why their cells are being deleted? I think it's user error, but is their something, they are doing, something I can point out?

Regards,
Bryan

After updating data, save and close the file. Open it again and check if the cells have been deleted or modified. If it remains the same, then there is no reason the cells would disappear the following day.

Make sure that the computer is Shutdown properly at the end of the day to ensure that all data is properly saved. If you practice this, then there is no reason why the data would be lost the following day.

Maybe someone is altering the data? When saving and closing the file, take note of the 'Last Modified' date and time. If the data is lost the next day, check to see whether the date and time has changed.
 
And there may be folks following the Microsoft Office forum who will have an idea.
