I have very busy workbook that has hovered around a megabyte in size. I added a simple userform and a couple more graph series (I now have 35 ), and the file jumped to over 6MB in size.
I checked every woorksheet, cannot find anything to account for ANY growth, let alone a factof 5 or 6.
I am having trouble using the tab key to navigate to the next cell.
Whenever I push tab I get jumped to the edge of the page instead of the next cell. This excel program is on a new computer I got at work and I have never had this problem before.
See attached sample sheet for more detail. I used code for show date and user id in cell “H” and “I”, but my problem is when ever I write some thing between cells “A” to “G” and enter the pointer automatically jumped to cell “H”, I want when I enter the pointer should be stay next cell.

I need a formula that will should nest more than 7 functions, in this case it wont work right? So what I did was name 2 separate fuctions for example
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.
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.
I have a macro-enabled workbook, in sheet1 i have two columns Country and Codes, they are in column C and D respectively. I used vlookup formula in generating the codes of the countries pasted in column C, they are being looked-up in sheet2 in column C and D as well. I already have 100000+ rows in sheet 2 under column C and D that's why the file is now heavy. Is it possible to encode column C and D in sheet 2 but still can be looked-up? or is there any other way to minimize the file size.

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?
,i have file with 100 mb size.
a) i need to open the workbook and
b)Refresh all pivot tables in all sheet.
c)Also there are many formulas in the workbook that needs to be updated as well.
if i do it manualy i takes more time.......for opening and refreshing and i could see status bar running for excel calculation for updating all forumulas.
I'm using Excel 2013 on Windows 7.
I have an Excel file which has a macro that sucks in data from a number of separate files (two Excel, a varying number of csv). The macro grabs all the individual files and loads them into one of three worksheets with some formatting, sorting, and structuring on the way. All good so far.
I then need to take two of the worksheets and copy them to a new Workbook which I can send out to some users. So I use the Workbooks.Add method, and use the Selection.Copy on just the data (UsedRange.Rows/Columns.Count to ensure it is only the data) and Selection.PasteSpecial with the xlPasteColumnWidths, xlPasteValues, and xlPasteFormats options to copy the data over. None of the data is filtered. Just straight data.
I would expect the newly added workbook to be smaller than the one with the macros because the one with the macros has two extra sheets that I don't transfer, and the sheets I do transfer are identical.
And that's where it gets weird. The file with the macros and more data is 18.7Mb, but the new one with only two sheets is 24.8Mb. One is .xlsm and the other is .xlsx (because it has no macros).
I've tried opening the new workbook and saving as .xlsm (no material difference to the size) and as .xls (it got even bigger). I've opened the new workbook, gone to the end of the data and deleted all the blank rows and columns, but no effect (because the rows are already empty).
Why would the file with less in it be so much bigger (or bigger at all)?
what size monitor do you use?
I'm thinking about upgrading my 17" to a 23" monitor so I can see more cells without zooming
Anyone currently use a 23" for Excel?
I'm looking for a way to use VBA to set the window size upon opening the workbook. When the document opens, there should be two windows, each taking up half the screen and each on a particular tab.
Currently, if I save the workbook with the window settings I want, when I open it, both windows are maximized. When I hit the restore button, they go back the settings with which they were saved, which is what I want it to look like as soon as it's opened. Also, a bonus would be for the code to determine the screen size, so it can fill the screen no matter what monitor/computer it's opened on.
I am having some problems with some charts that are being created via VBA.
If I create the chart at 1600 x 1200 screen resolution at 100% zoom then my chart is fine but if I am at a different level of zoom or a different screen resolution the code for position the top and left and width and height of the plot area does not work as expected.
I have the outside of the chart set at 600 wide by 600 tall and no matter what resolution i'm in it seems that it always stays this way. I just seems the plot area and the legend move around.
I am working on a Listview. Every time I open the file, the ListView doesn't appear to be of the same size I intend it to be. Although I kept the size of the ListView big enough to show all my data, the ListView still goes back to much smaller size.
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 3 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.
Somehow my tab names (in 2003) have a very small font size. How do I return the size to normal?

I have my Excel set up for a default font size of 12 point.
I often download CSV data to insert into spreadsheets. It opens in a new spreadsheet, and it's properly displayed in 12 point size. When i copy and paste it into the ultimate target spreadsheet (which is also set to 12 point size) the pasted data shows up as 10-point and I have to change the font size back to 12-point every time.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid that re-sizing that occurs?
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 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 am faced with the task of reducing the size of a group of userforms because of screen size limitations.Some of the forms are quite complex and I am wondering if it is possible to select the form and all its contents and reduce it proportionately. It is possible to do this with the form frame but I have not found a way to include the controls.

This probably sounds really weird, but does anyone know whether the size of the text in Cell A1 on Sheet 1 can be linked to the size of the text in Cell B2 on Sheet 2? Like, when I change the size of Cell A1's text, is there a way to have the size of Cell B2's text change as well?

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 seen a worksheet/workbook in the past that only contains (for example) Columns A:H and Rows 1:150. The rest of the columns and rows do not show. Unfortunately I cannot find the example I was looking at and I cannot find any information on how to achieve it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
