Making Spreadsheet Smaller?
Mar 28, 2014
I built what I can only describe as a fantastic spreadsheet. It wasn't until after that I realized it is 123 MB in size, but even for the complexities within it, it still feels like that is quite large.
I can't share the file due to proprietary reasons, but any general tips as to things I can do to make it smaller (and therefore faster to run).
I tried saving it as a binary spreadsheet and that dropped it to about 80 MB, but I don't really know what that does and if it will impact the sheet performance in any way.

I have a 30 in monitor (I know I'm lucky!) but when I open a new spreadsheet it opens all the way across the screen 100 columns and 100 rows. How can I change the size when it opens?

Is there a way to reduce a file's size to make it smaller with faster load times? I have a file that has ballooned in size due to the number of formulas and images I have installed.
Sometimes the file shuts down on it's own and make's my computer really slow.

I have created a spreadsheet containing about 30+ macros and then copied it with a new title eg, sheet2013.xlsm (original) and sheet2014.xlsm. My problem is that every time I open the 2014 sheet it re-connects to the macros in the 2013 sheet (if this makes any sense). Is there a way to lock macros to a spreadsheet, ie open both sheets and use the macros within those sheets?

I am making a 'sports day' spreadsheet for a project and i have one problem, the spread sheet is meant to have the possiblitlity of mistakes reduced to a minimum.
I have 6 teams in the sports day and under each i put 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th.
[url]
basically i need the rows to only accept 1st 2nd 3rd..... only once. I need something like an error message to come up if a value is entered twice on a row.

The jist of the problem is that employees are paid their normal wage up untill 37.5 hours of work. From 37.5 to 40 hours of work they are paid 1.5 times their wage. Any hours over 40 are paid at 2 times the regular wage.
So i need a formula that can work out their total pay. Im not sure what i could put in a dummy document to help you since it would just be one cell for their hourly wage, one for their hours worked and then one for the calculation. so you can reference any cell as an example and assume £6 as hourly rate

I have some spreadsheets containing substantial rows of data, basically 3 columns as this:
Sample
Start
End
Difference (End-Start)
A
1500
1600
100
[Code] ......
And what i want to obtain is different rows of data such as every row has the same difference (20 in this case, without changing the first column), like the following (never mind the colors, they are only to make my point clear):
Sample
Start
End
Difference (End-Start)
A
1500
1520
20
[Code] ........
We can also think about splitting only one certain number into 20's, like in the case of samples B and C above, because I have already split the data into separate sheets based on their "difference" value, using link:
Copy to new worksheets. Do you think it is doable?

Is 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.

I have a DDE feed going into an Excel spreadsheet which gives me a share price in real-time. i.e the cell value is constantly changing.
I would like to create a formula that tells me if the price is 'Rising' or 'Falling' based on the previous value, before it was updated.
So, for example, if cell C4 said £1.00 and the the next price change changed cell C4 to £1.05 I would like cell C5 to say 'Rising' If the next price change was say to £1.04 I would like cell C5 to say 'Falling'.

I have this table with some information that I need to work with. The data is simple, but it has many issues, at least for me, to be able to work with it properly.
Basically, I just need to transfer part of the data from this table to another table (in another order). I failed to use vlookup because I need more than one parameter to search the data (Date, Shift and Sector).
The problem I am having to get the codes from the source table is that the same code sometimes shows up more than once per date, per shift and per sector. It's also not following a numeric pattern. I couldn't elaborate any combination of formulas to get the info I need....
I also can't change the format of the source table, because I'm not the one who made it, it has years already, and is constantly updated day by day by a good old man who doesn't know much about computers.
The file is attached : Example.xlsx‎

I have a table of data, one column is for the names of all these branches of our offices, that consist of 2 alpha numeric digits. For instance one branch is 6G, then another is 6F, 8G, etc. The other column has a raw number in it. So I'm doing a vlookup for the first column to return the value in the second column. But, vlookup automatically returns a value thats the next one over if it can't find the vlookup value. For instance, if it can't find 6G it'll just give me the number it finds for 6F. But I don't need that! I just want it to return either a zero or n/a if it can't find 6G.

I have a list with random ordered numbers (each number in a cell of a row): 1, 2, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16...
On the other hand I get a value (x). I want a formula that:
- If x is in the list, returns x
- If x is not in the list, returns the next higher value. For example, if x=8, returns 11
I want also a variation of the same formula, that returns the next lower value. For example, if x=8, returns 6.
Note that x will never be smaller than the first number on the list or higher than the highest number in the list.

On this forum, a script is provided to break a large Excel file into smaller 500-line files:
Split Worksheet Into Multiple Files By Every Nth Row
I copied the code and pasted it into the VBA editor in Excel 2007, but when I run the macro, it generates an error message:

The line the debugger identifies as the one with the error is this one:

I have a lot of data to try and summarize but they are in multiple smaller tables. I wish to only extract 2 variables, 'number' and 'total' from all of my smaller tables (lots of them) so the problem looks like this, i have these tables for example where the 'total' title is in a different column depending on which of the smaller tables you are looking at:
cat 1
cat 2
cat 3
total
[Code]....
I am trying to get:
number
Total
123456
30
234567
60
[Code]...
Because the number column is fixed and all of the smaller tables will all have a number in the same column maybe i can insert a column next to the number column and say "find the value where the column title is 'total' - however the location of the column title would change so not sure if this would work? I was also thinking of sorting the columns but that will not work either because of the smaller multiple tables?

I have attached a document paralleling a document I am working on. The dollar amount in each spreadsheet represent sales. I have entered in values into the candy, soda, and chips spreadsheet. I have also linked values for candy into the total spreadsheet. My question is can I somehow type something or drag the formula down to populate the other cells in the total spreadsheet?
The idea I am thinking but which I don't know how to implement is to list all the items (as in column G) and list all of the relevant cells (e.g. B1 in the Candy spreadsheet) as in columns H and I (Note that all items will have the same cells but the cells will have different values...e.g. all three items have a cell B1 and B2 in their spreadsheet but these cells contain different values). I then try and fail to create a formula in cell B3 of the Total spreadsheet. I am trying to create a formula of the following nature:
='(Spreadsheet Name From Column G)'!(Cell Name From Columns H and I)
The Second half of the formula doesn't really concern me (i.e. the cell name from column H and I). However I am perplexed as to how to achieve the goal in the first parentheses above.

I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

I have a spreadsheet that I have a lot of macros that are attached to a customized toolbar saved in the same spreadsheet. I saved this is a read-only file. When I open as read-only and run my macros (testing), I save it as another file. When I then open the "template" to do the same thing, the toolbar/buttons now reference the file I previously saved as something else. Help please? Is there a macro that would delete all macros before saving the file as something else?

Often I need to add data from one spreadsheet to the appropriate places on another spreadsheet. For example:
Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.
