Does my Icloud drive have version history of excel documents?

I rewrote over important data in an excel spreadsheet several days ago and since have edited the file multiple times. The spreadsheet is saved on icloud drive. Is there version history on the icloud drive to go back to previous versions?

Reverting to more recent versions of numbers document saved on cloud I recently had to reboot my whole system from a backup from December 2021. I didn't think this would be a problem as most of my work is saved in the cloud. But now when I try to open documents saved in the cloud, it reverts to a December 2021 version. If I go to File --> revert to in Numbers then none of the more recent versions are there. If I log onto the cloud through icloud.com I can see that there are more recent versions there from April 2022. But it will not let me open them. Please please please can anyone help!

iCloud reverted an excel document Hi, I use iCloud across multiple devices, I have an excel document that I updated 2 weeks ago on my MacBook. It's a document that I have been updating regularly over the past 15 months. I opened this document on my iPad tonight and the version it opened was from over 12 months ago! I went back to my MacBook and the version on iCloud is now the version that opened on my iPad. I have tried multiple ways including searching through temp files to try retrieve an older version but have had no luck. I am using Office 2016 which is linked to my office 365 account, but not linked to OneDrive for storage. Because I'm not using OneDrive the 'Browse Version History' is greyed out, apparently this is not supported by Microsoft if the document is saved locally. Is there a way to retrieve an old version of this document from iCloud?

Do you use a Mac and Time Machine?

If so, Time Machine may have an older version.

I know that Numbers has a version history but not sure about Excel.
