Lost iPad File

Hi. I have an important excel file saved in my iCloud drive (iPad). Strangely I was not able to open the file today, and when I did, it showed me a month-old version. I have an automatic backup, but I do not know how to retrieve the file from the latest backup. Please help. Thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Browse iCloud:

Go to iCloud, and see if it resides in there: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive. Important: Consider using a computer to perform this, as It would be more user-friendly doing so.
