Sorry but it's gone. You cannot recover it after doing what you have
stated.

I suspect this is too late, but if you have Excel XP or 2003 and have not
closed Excel then go ToolsOptions...Save and note the autosave location, go
to that location and rename the file you find there with an extension of
..xls (It will have none by default). This is your file and will now open in
excel.

If you have versions other than those above OR you have closed Excel then
see Ken's post unfortunately!
