4 Answers
Whilst trying to save an excel spreadsheet to a floppy disc, an error appeared, cannot remember what the error was, so I saved it to another disc. When I put the original disc back in the pc to open it, it said disc not formatted. If I format it, will I loose all the data on the disc? please say no..... Is there any way I can recover the data on my disc?? please say yes.......

If you format it yes you will lose all data on it, try the disk on as many different computers as possible, you may be lucky and find one that will read the disk ok, if you do get the data off the disk ASAP.
Floppy disks are not a very reliable way to store data, invest in a usb memory stick would be my advice.

I agree with markysngc, stop using floppy diskettes.
They are unrelable, and most computers are now being shippied without a diskette drive.
As markysngc says, get a USB memory stick like this

They are MUCH more reliable, and can hold the equivalent of hundreds of diskettes.
