Dear all, I was running a workflow with an XLS sheet appender node at the end. I stopped The workflow during the running of the node and I found out that my XLS workbook was totally deleted and corrupted. I would like to recover my data on this Excel sheet. Is there any version saved by Knime? Please help Thank you, Chakib, ---

Hi Chakib, Does this mean that you were actually writing to the file when you stopped the workflow? In that case, you could try the solution described here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Repair-a-corrupted-workbook-153a45f4-6cab-44b1-93ca-801ddcd4ea53 If that doesn't help there is probably not much you can do. Cheers, Roland ---
