Reduce Row Range In Existing Worksheet To Reduce File Size
Dec 17, 2013I 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?

Jun 11, 2014I 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.

File Size - Reduce
Feb 13, 2007I 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?
Reduce File Size
Apr 28, 2008My 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.

Jan 8, 2007I 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.

Nov 14, 2011Have 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?

Workbook Containing Macro To Reduce File Size Locks Up When Shared
May 28, 2008I'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

Reduce Memory Size Of Excel Workbook?
Jul 11, 2012if 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.

Will VBA In Place Of A Function Reduce This Workbook Size
Mar 5, 2009I 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 Efficiency
Sep 1, 2009how to reduce formula size/improve excel efficiency?

Reduce Number Of Times Opening And Closing Blank Source File
Jul 9, 2012I 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

Process Of Adding More Rows Has Slowed Down Considerably
Nov 15, 2009I am building an inventory list for an online store with Excel 2002. Everything was fine until I reached 10,000 rows and 50 columns.
I use formulas to convert wholesale price to retail price on about ten columns.
Overnight the process of adding more rows has slowed down considerably.
I had my computer checked out and they say it is working just fine.
File Size... Vlookups Resulting In 90MB File
Apr 9, 2007I 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?
File Size Too Big?
Sep 22, 2006I 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.

Mar 6, 2014I 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.
Reducing File Size
Sep 19, 2012I 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.
Row Height And File Size
Dec 19, 2013I 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.
File Size/Formulas
Jan 10, 2007I 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?
Does A File With VBA Grow In Size
Jul 9, 2009I 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.

Jul 3, 2006I 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.

Size Of Excel File Changes Automatically?
Jun 19, 2013We 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.
