I am working on a spreadsheet that pulls data from an external pivot table.
The spreadsheet is 25 columns wide by 72 rows. I have 15 worksheets currently but need to add another 7. The current file size is 22MB and I keep getting a NO MEMORY error message.
I am not using any fancy formulae just references to an external pivot table.
I had a data sheet that used about 20,000 rows, down to AF20000 or so. I deleted about 16,000 rows and now want to reduce the size of the worksheet so that when I hit Control+Shift+End, it takes me only to AF4000, not to AF20000. Can this be done without replicating into a new worksheet?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a monster Excel file that contains loads of vlookups and is 95MB and extremely slow.
I guess that vlookup creates tables in the background, hence the file size. Does anyone have any ideas on how to decrease the file size while keep the vlookup functionality?
I have a large number of workbooks, each with one sheet. I need to do the following, and am too pressed for time to try and work it out from scratch, so am hoping to get some pointers on how best to set up the macro. All workbooks are in one folder.
From a Summary Worksheet:
Open Each Workbook
Go to Sheet1
Copy values from "a2", "c7", "e26", etc.
Paste as values in the Summary Worksheet on a new row.
Close Workbook.
Repeat until all Workbooks are extracted.
I have windows XP and xl2k. I have a single- sheet workbook (9MB) linked to another multi-sheet workbook of databases (20MB). The single-sheet workbook has about 100 pictures (30k ea) that, when a number is entered, searches the database. If no match is found for a given picture and product info, then the picture is deleted and the rows are hidden (macros). Usually, about 10 products are found in the database for any one entry.
My goal is that I can "save as > web page" and email these results off to my customer. The problem is the after-the-search result page is about 1MB and so too is the .htm file that is created when I "save as > web page." I was thinking that 10 pictures at 30k should be around 300k plus the formatting (no?). I cleared the "tools>option>general>web options>general>save any additional hidden data..." to little effect. Is there a macro that will delete the hidden rows which I should run AFTER the product search (because deleting them instead of hiding them messes up the macro run) - I'm sure that would help (right?). But my original thought was that the .htm file size would not be affected by hidden rows.
The per-item section of excel is 375 cells + the picture with simple font and formatting and no other objects, etc... When I delete the picture and save as > web page just this one-item section area (375 cells), the .html file is 37kb in size. That seems large to me (yes/no?). (10 x 37K = 370K before pictures!). This may be a reasonable file size, I'm no expert. I read a post where xl2003 has a compression application - is that what I need, or is there a 3rd-party app that can help me reduce the size of this file in htm. Or, is this the best I can expect from this method and I should be exploring elsewhere (metatags?).
I have a workbook which has a file size much bigger than I would expect. To test it I inserted one blank worksheet and deleted everything else. I have removed a macro that was embedded in the workbook. I have removed all protection etc. I would now expect the file to be similar to a new workbook (circa 13k) but it is still 782kb even though there is absolutely nothing in it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI built a workbook that is used by our account team to summarize account status. Each worksheet has several cells that use conditional formatting to call attention to the status reported in that cell. Each manager sends their worksheets to a Senior manager who then consolidates into a single workbook containing approximately 50 worksheets. Once consolidated, the file size has grown to over 12 Mb and this needs to be reduced to a more manageable number, preferable 4 Mb or less. Prior to buliding the new version of this workbook, the file size was less than 2 Mb.
I have removed the Macros and believe the size is due to the conditional formatting in each worksheet.
Once the worksheets are compiled, is there a way to remove the conditional formatting and save the existing format - Similar to a "Paste Values" function? The senior manager does not need to change cell value to the formatting of the worksheet he receives could be saved.
To be specific - one cell turns has no color if the value is 10 or less, is yellow if 11 - 15, and Red if 16+. Once sent to the manager, the variance in this cell is not needed; he only needs to see the color associated with the value when sent. Next week he will receive an updated worksheet and a new value will be entered. The conditional formatting is only needed by the individual preparing the original worksheet.
I am creating a statistics database for my personal use. I have been developing this for many, many months now, and I have learned a lot about Excel and its capabilities in the process. However, I am becoming concerned because my files occasionally crash Excel, and I am wondering whether this is because my files are getting too large. Typically, the crashes occur when the main file is calculating (but not always). It stops responding, and I have to force the files closed through Windows Task Manager.
Without getting into the specifics of how the files work (although we can do that if it is necessary), here are the names of the files and their current sizes:
Baseball Database.xlsx -- ~28 MB
Baseball Reports.xlsx -- ~5 MB
Statistics.xlsx -- ~4 MB
I will have all three of these files open simultaneously when I am working on them, and my laptop has 4G of RAM. I do not have much (if any) extraneous formatting in the files -- I know how to remove that -- but there is quite a bit of conditional formatting in the files that I want to maintain. I am considering partitioning (separating) the tabs in the Database file into separate files.
I have a spreadsheet which is currently about 10 MB, I would like to reduce this as much as possible.
I am using lots of Vlookups but on each I am only referencing the data I need, there are also quite a few macros.
I paste value all the formula I do not need.
I have an 11mb file with:
5 worksheets
30 columns per worksheet
Total of 1300 rows of data across the 5 tabs
The row heights are not uniform across all worksheets but when I change them all down to 65536 on each sheet to height of 12, the file reduces in size from 11mb to 3mb.
It concerns me as it is almost like data could be getting lost.
I have a workbook that permits the user to enter data in no sense of order. From the original I am working for, there could be over 1500 rows of data. I then created a new worksheet to accept the unordered data to be sorted by a customer and date. I then created 20+ new worksheets within the same workbook, that will accept via an IF statement, the data for each customer. The problem as I see it is as the formula runs, I need to delete the blank rows on each of the 20+ worksheets. This is fine and the customer is happy with the set up. My problem is the file size. With just the formulas/worksheets, it is over 62 MG.
Is there a different formula/function I can use that won't require so much space?
I have xls file size 50MB
I want to reduce size kindly give me some tips to reduce size.
I created a new form for our field personnel to complete daily. They are telling me that over a few weeks the file grows in size. The file size is 335KB starting out end up in a few weeks being 3.5megs. Now they add on some other sheets and things which undoubatbly make the file size larger but I am wondering if there is anyway thet VBA could somehow make the file bigger as the open it each day over a few weeks? They are not adding in any VBA, they are only using the code which is provided, which is accounted for in the 335kb. It seems unlikely but i thought i would ask.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI created a new excel file with filtering and after i saved the file , i found that the size for this excel file is 19 MB, so is this normal size for an excel file or there is a problem in this file and i have to fix it
View 9 Replies View RelatedI don;t know if there is a way around this but we have a Excel workbook that holds around 14 worksheets taht is getting too large. It currently is around 2.5mb and we constantly use it as a template which is completed and emailed. Sometimes we have to email 4 of these all together and so teh email is too large, even zipping them has next to no effect on the size. The sheet that seems to causing the problem is one that has around 500 lines of formula across 20 columns. Most of these fields have conditional formatting and its this taht is boosting the size.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI currently have an excel file with lots of formulas on quite a few pages and these are carried down for so many records - its sort of a template to generate information from/to certain sheets for many other purposes.
- is there any way to compress the file (without actually zipping it) as it must remain a working document?
My excel file has grown to 23Mb. It has around 10 worksheets and a similar number of userforms. Because the file is large, it slows down the VBA code when it encounters a save command. Is there any way I can improve this? Do userforms use alot of memory or is it the length of code? There are a few images on the userforms but the images are less than 1 Mb in total when all added together.

Can i decrease the size by combining the spreadsheets?
Also, will nested formula take longer to load compare to 3 different cells referencing upon each other?

I am putting together a price list in excel and using images and hyperlinks to jazz it up a bit - what I am finding is that if I insert a 25KB GIF image, the excel file grows in size by over 100KB

How to calculate a One time Payment to maintain the Tenure In Amortization?
Ex:-
I havea loan of Rs 1,00,000/- to be paid @ 8%/12 for the first year and then from 13th month , it will be Floating Rate of Interest which would be mostly higher than 8%/12...
I will be paying this loan off in 5 years ( i.e. 60 months)
and the EMI = Rs 2028/- per month..
Lets say, if the Interest goes up to 12%/12 after the 12th EMI then the tenure increases by 5 months from 60 months to 65 months thus adding to the cost of Rs 2028*5 = Rs 10140 more..
Now What amount do I need to pay alongwith the regular EMI's to maintain the tenure of months?
The amount Im referring to is a One-Time Payment added with the EMI for the 13 the mOnth to reduce the Principal and accordingly the tenure?
I am currently working on a very large spreadsheet with a current size of 94mb. So obviously I have problems running and using it.
My question is a general one, I need to understand better why a spreadsheet gets so large. It has 55 tabs with the largest having 1000 rows. It also links in a number of places between sheets but also to external locations. I have moved all files that it is linked to in to the same file.
I am at the point where I am thinking about starting again! And I was wanting some tips or even a recommendation of a book that could help me optimize my spreadsheet going forward so to increase the speed but also reduce the size.
Is there a way to reduce the Excel file size considerably? Any quickest and easiest way to reduce file size in excel ...
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are using an excel file, which doesn't contain more then 1MB of data and have few "count and sum" formulae. but size of file keeps fluctuating from 1MB to 500MB. some time the size of file would be 1MB and once you will refresh the window file size will go to 480MB or some random number.
because of this excel file is quite slow and very difficult to work.
I still cant figure out how to write macros. If someone could help me out with this I would appreciate it.
Currently I have a worksheet that is 20mb.
This file contains what takes up most of the space. I repeat this line many times throughout the worksheet.
010807.zip
Once again it is a zero eliminating code.
If someone could reduce the number of formulas for me, I think I could figure out how to adapt it to repeat throughout the sheet.
I have a workbook that grows in size on every use. I import a text file, manipulate the data, manually export it and delete the data from the workbook.
So why does it continue to grow in size? By manipulating I mean, add rows and text to the new rows. Attached is a copy of the workbook in native form (have not ran the macro) and a sample file to import, the excel file is 59kb in size and the test file is 9kb in size. I have seen my original file grow to over 500kb from repeating the same macro on the same file many times or running many different files for testing.
There is a CommandButton on Sheet1, it will open a userform. Click in the largest textbox and it will open a file dialog box in "C:". Place the supplied text file in "C:" or some other folder of your choice as you can navigate to any folder or drive from the dialog box. The macros that add lines and or text are "JumpToLabelName" (this runs first) and "InsertRows" which runs second. These two macros do all the work.
Take note:
I store information in the Registry, "GeoMeasure" under "VB and VBA Program Settings" (Normal windows key entry). You can search for "GeoMeasure" and delete it if you decide to test run the file.
I've got a spreadsheet which currently 7.06MB!
The bulk of the file (6MB+) is in one sheet which is a data store.
All headings are on row 1 and are duplicated across 4 times for ease of reading.
Columns A-D have the main data and comprise a total of 39751 lines and a lot of duplication (basically it is 30 items for 25 clients (identical setups) for 53 weeks.
Columns E-H is an average for 4 or 5 weeks (depending on the period) for each items for each client and takes up 9001 rows.
Columns I-L have the quarterly averages (i.e. average of 3 periods) and takes up 3001 rows.
Columns N-P have the data which is displayed on other sheets and takes up 750 rows.
Now, on columns B,F,J and N I have the name of the client in row 2 (for example) and then the formula "=A2" in row 3 and down. This is repeated for each client (29 formulas each).
Is there any way I can batter the size of this sheet down?
I am about to undertake a fairly large spreadsheet development project. One of the key requirements is that the size of the spreadsheet be kept to below 4mb, preferrably below 1mb. This is due to an unavoidable restriction.
Although the spreadsheet will not have large volumes of data, it will contain approximately 30 sheets. There are no graphics embedded in the sheet. I imagine there will be a reasonable amount of VBA and/or forumulas in the sheet. Each sheet will basically be a data-entry form with a number of formulas. No sheet will have more than 100 rows.
Without knowing the full details of the spreadsheet, it is difficult for you to give a definite answer as to the size of the sheet, so I am simply looking for some helpful tips in keeping the size down.
Do formulas take up more space than VBA code? When I format cells, should I format the entire row, or just the range? Do features like sheet and cell protection take up a lot of space?
I have a workbook that I am working on that seems to be having file size growth issues.
All it is is 2 worksheets.
Worksheet 1- Columns A-S & 63 rows. That worksheet alone is 7mb.
no macros..No VBA..No formulas. Just straight text data with a handfull of auto-filters. I took the auto filters off and saved to see if that was the issue and it did not make a difference.
Worksheet 2- Columns A-S & 35 rows. This worksheet is almost 3mb.
Now I can make a change (when my computer catches up) to 2 cells and sometimes it will jump in size by 1mb or more.
Is there a way to reduce the Excel file size considerably? This excel file is huge with many sheets. I do not like to use Zip function.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way of eliminating un-used rows & columns to bring your file size down.
I already know about eliminating unnecessary pages, and I've cleaned up defunct modules, etc., and anything else that's just clutter.
The Row & Column thing would be a big help.
