Error "document not saved" when saving Excel sheets

[BansiJ]

I have been working on an Excel sheet for more than 1 hr but when I try to save this file, it gives me an error message saying "document not saved". I have no idea why the sheet in unsaved although I have a lot of hard drive space and there is no other file with the same name on the directory in which I am trying to save the file. What is the reason behind this and how should I solve this problem?

You may experience issues when you try to save a Microsoft Excel file due to many reasons. To troubleshoot, try to save the Excel file to another location; try to save a new Excel file to the original location; try to save the Excel file in Safe Mode. If the Excel file still does not save the file then its probably due to the third-party add-in which is causing you the problem.

The file that I have been trying to save was already saved by some of my colleague and I am able to save it on my C drive but not on other location. When I try to save it on server, it says "document not saved". The same message appears irrespective of you do "save" or "save as".

This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:

• The connection to the network drive has been lost.
• Your workbook contains any of the following items:
  
  • PivotTables
  • Visual Basic for Applications modules
  • Embedded objects (such as clip art)
