Multiple Formulas Causing File Size Increase
Sep 29, 2007
I am working with 4 seperate workbooks where 4 different people enter data into cells. I have a 5th workbook that needs to have all the data from the 4 individual workbooks bought across so I can see all data. Like a master file. basically, in each cell of the master, I have the following code. =IF('[loans - 0708 - officer 01.xls]07-08'!B5="","",'[loans - 0708 - officer 01.xls]07-08'!B5)
I then have the code for each officer. As there are 24000 lines collectively for the financial year, the size of my master is 37mb, even when its empty, obviously cause each cell still have a formular in it. Is there ANY way to copy across the data from other workbooks without having to have every single correpsonding cell have this kind of formular to view the code? Also, copy it without having to open the other workbooks.

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?

Have a file of 7 mb having 100 columns and unlimited rows (user defined- approx 500). At all these cells in that area, I refresh (copy/paste) the same formula for all cells, read as:
[=IF($DF47=0,"",IF(ISERROR(MATCH(HE$45,$Q$22:$Q$26,0)),INDEX($DF$12:$HE$31,
MATCH($DF47,$DF$12:$DF$31,0),1+HE$11-$DF$11),INDEX($Q$22:$S$26,
MATCH(HE$45,$Q$22:$Q$26,0),IF($DA47=GROUPSHIP,2,3)))) ].
Refresh is necessary bcs I insert/delete/sort rows.
In order to reduce file size and instead of saving all these formulas into the approx 5000 cells, I would prefer if I could have a function in VBA and call it (with copy/paste) with a smaller formula at all these 5000 cells as: [= myfunction], so as to have this simple formula in each of 5000 cells, hoping that this will reduce size.
How can I write the long formula above to a function in VBA?

I have an excel file which consist of 12 sheets. The main sheet contain columns from A to EL and 556 rows.
At the moment, i have data on from column A to AI (we will add more data day by day). All data in main sheet are linking to another 4 sheets which basically using IF, VLOOKUP, and Conditional Formatting. My file originally was only 4.6MB in size.
However, after adding the formula (IF & Vlookup) and conditional formatting to the fourth sheet (number of columns is from A to BZ) then the file size increased from 4.6MB to 13.7MB.
My excel file also became very slow and i need to take off the Automatically Calculation option.

I want the user of my macro to be able to see what he/she has entered as a response to an input box. So far the only input boxes I can get to show are very small and seem appropriate only for inputing maybe a name or date. I need them to be able to see perhaps a 10 sentence input so that it is easy to review their input and modify it if necessary...how to make the input area much larger is my problem.

I want to say thanks for any help you might be able to offer. Attached are 2 sheets out of a workbook I am using which has many sumproduct formulas. On the the Input sheet, is where vacation and training forecast dates are listed. On the Calcs sheet, there are 2 monthly calendars for the year, 1 for vacation, the other for training. Would like to know if there is a way to have both records show up on only one calendar set. I currently have the vacation shown as a '1' and the training shown as a '9'. The workbook is used in Excel 2003 & 2007.

My cells will not always increase in size with text wrapping.
Especially when I copy and paste from one sheet to another. I have formatted and re-formatted and re-formatted.

I'm building a keypad out of commandbutton controls, and there's this strange resizing behavior with the commandbuttons. I've attached an example, as it's much easier to see than describe.... but essentially, clicking a button seems to enlargen it slightly, and then two clicks later, it 'dezooms' back to original size (even with shadows turned off). while this is not hugely noticeable individually, it feels really strange when there's a whole keypad of commandbuttons.

I have an Excel file that has a certain amount of Array Formulas. It takes 30 seconds to calculate every time the user makes a change. Some users do not have the Status Bar showing, and they think that Excel is "locked up". I want to make a user form that will appear when the Stats Bar is "Calculating..." There are a lot of "progress indicator" tutorials on this site, but they all seem to relate to VBA code being inserted in between certain lines. That doesn't apply. My Excel file has no VBA. It just takes a long time to recalculate. I want a VBA form to appear, that will match the % progress shown on the Status Bar, whenever a change is made to the spreadsheet.

Whenever you insert / delete row or cut cells out in Mon/Tue sheets it's causing issues in the table in the Weekly view tab.
Is there any way to prevent it? I don't mind redoing whole spreadsheet, it was done ages ago in a very fast manner.
I gave you an idea by deleting a row range in Mon tab which causes #REF error.

I need a script that will look for all the formulas in a sheet and increase them by a digit.
Lets say one that particular formula is =(A1-A2)/A2*100
I need the macro to change this to =(B1-B2)/B2*100
I have already programmed in a Find/Replace command, but realised that this would only work one time only. I need generic code that will bump them up each time rather than having to hard code the Find/Replace command for every single cell in the book.

I am trying to do a spreadsheet that calculates the monthly rent from 9/1/14 through 1/1/15, then rent gets reduced from 2/15/14 through 1/1/16, then after that there will be an increase of 3% per year for each year until 8/2019.

I 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 am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292

I have a test due in the morning, and I really need this question answered ASAP, if anyone could. I need to create an IF formula for this situation: the standard Mhz is 500. Give 55.00 for that standard. But for every increase of of Mhz, give 25.00 per 100 increase.

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.

I 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 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 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.
