That depends on the specific situation. If the document has been previously saved, you will have the file up to the point it was last saved, but without any of the new changes in it. If it is auto-saving you may have some more. If it is a brand new document that was never saved before, then you will have lost everything. If there was an error in Excel as you were working on it, you might get a recovered document, but if you just said you did not want to save it, as you've indicated in your question, then that won't happen.

As a general rule, if you are working on a big document, save it every so often, even before it is finished, so that if you do something like you did by hitting "No" you will have at least got some work back. Make sure the Auto save is on, by going into the Tools menu and then Options and then in the Save tab, you can turn on autosaving. That will help recover a document if there is an error in Excel, so you won't have lost everything.
