Another low tec suggestion for the future. When I open a data file, any data file, I save as with the same name but the current date in my Documemts folder. It’s is just another process but manual & glitch proof. It has come in handy several times.
Also low tec and not sure if it will answer you question. You can go to your older version highlight everything then control c, go to a new spreadsheet, click on top left cell and control v to paste your old copied data into your new blank spreadsheet. Then check to see if the formulas are still intact. If not manually insert them into a new inserted column or row as necessary. Good luck!
