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.
View 3 RepliesI have a problem where I extended a formula down to over 40,000 records which has increased the file size substantially. I only need it to scroll down to a few thousand rows now that I realized that there is alot less data to populate the worksheet. Is there any way to get it back to a scroll range that is more modest in size?
View 1 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 want to reduce size kindly give me some tips to reduce size.
I 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?

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.

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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHave 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 this formula that checks a line of values to see whether it is within the constraints of a separate list of values.

I've been having trouble recently with my workbook file size growing rapidly due to copy and paste commands and such. I found a very nice macro to reduce file size called ExcelDiet located at [url]
Option Explicit
Sub ExcelDiet()
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
Dim ColFormula As Range
Dim RowFormula As Range
Dim ColValue As Range
Dim RowValue As Range
Dim Shp As Shape
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

This code works fine until I share the workbook. Can anyone take a look at this code and provide some information as to why this might be happening?

if there are any simple steps that can be taken to reduce the size of an Excel workbook short of deleting information. I have an Excel file which is taking to long to open and save. The file size is approx 5,450kb.
The file cotains Macros, Formulae, Named Ranges and Colour formatting.
I know that VBA doesn't always slim down workbook size and calculations are calculations whether in VBA or Formula format; but in this instance, do you think VBA would be a better choice? This workbook is currently enormous in size and slow, and I think I can slim it down if I used the right VBA procedures. However, Im not certain what those procedures would be.
On two seperate worksheets in a workbook, I have a column that contains a formula that references a third sheet.
Sheet 1 = "Order"
Sheet 2 = "Turn-in"
Sheet 3 = "Bank"
Ok, here's the scenario: On the "Order" sheet, I have a list of orders from my company; on the "turn-In" sheet, a list of turn-ins. The "Bank" sheet lists ALL transactions (ORDER AND TURN-IN).
On both the turn-in and Order sheets, the formula is pretty much the same; it references a different column on the bank sheet, but does it the exact same way. Ok... The Order sheet lists all order from the company by order number (column A); the formula uses that order number and finds the transaction on the "Bank" sheet and returns the order cost as the result. however, the order numbers on the bank sheet have a 5 digit prefix on them (the prefix is the same on all orders, its used by the bank but only orders with my 5 digit prefix are on the list sent to me and pasted to this sheet. So all orders on bank sheet have the same prefix)
The below formula is in Cell C10 on "Order" Sheet; Column C lists the Cost reported by the bank. The formula below references the Bank sheet database, looks for an order number that matches the order number in A10 (Adding the prefix of course), and returns a cooresponding cost for that transaction.
=IF(ISBLANK(A10),"",IF(COUNTIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,("ECGGT"&A10))>1,"",SUMIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,"ECGGT"&$A10,BANK!$F$4)))
I know this seems long for what it is, but it has to add the prefix, and then match the order number, and reference the cooresponding cost.
The kicker, this forumla is in more than 10,000 cells; 6,000 on the order sheet, and 5,000 on the turn-in sheet. Of course the references are a little different, but the principle is the same for all of them.
Is there a way to do this in VBA to save space and resources? This formula is really dragging.
how to reduce formula size/improve excel efficiency?
I have a really complicated formula with lots of COUNTAs, VLOOKUPs, IFs, etc etc etc which returns a variety of values, ZEROs (for blank cells being referenced), and #NAs.
I would like to turn all ZEROs and #NAs into ""s without repeating this super long formula over and over.
I am curently using:
=IF(or(ISBLANK([superlongformula]),ISNA([superlongformula])),"",[superlongformula])
I have code in VBA that takes a source Excel file and parses it to multiple re-formatted worksheets. Each formatted worksheet is different depending on a variable in the source. There are n of each type of data (1:n Water Sources, 1:n Water Treatment, 1:n Water Storage). Each item needs a copy of a blank re-formatted worksheet appended to the end of the existing data-type worksheet. For example: Water Source #2 is appended to the bottom of Water Source #1 on the same worksheet.
Currently, I am opening the blank re-formatted workbook each time an additional variable of same type is found in the source file. Meaning, if there are 8 Water Sources, I am opening and closing the blank re-formatted workbook 7 times to copy a blank Water Source to the bottom of the Water Source worksheet and then populate the data. AND if there are 3 Water Treatment, I would open and close the blank formatted workbook 2 more times to copy a blank Water Treatment to the bottom of the Water Treatment worksheet. The same goes for Water Treatment.
Obviously, a huge waste of resources and performance. I would rather open the blank re-formatted workbook once (first time an additional worksheet is needed), use the worksheets as needed, and close it at the end.
Attached is my current, working code of the above.
How should I re-write it to check if the blank workbook is already open use it, if not open it?
Code:
Sub Add_Facility(ByVal Worksheet_Name, Copy_Range, Max_Limit)
Dim Last_Row As Integer
Dim Source_Range As Range
Dim Dest_Range As Range
Dim wkb As Workbook
Set wkb = ActiveWorkbook

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 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 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 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 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.
My file is currently about 70,000 mb,consisting of 10 spreadsheets.
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
why is this disproportionate growth happening and is there a way around it - I dont want my Price List growing too large but need the images....?
We 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 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.
