Excel file size

Copper Contributor

I have a workbook with about 200 worksheets.  Each sheet contains data for a specific entity, but the data is basically the same information on each sheet.  When I replace the old data with new information, I create a temporary template sheet, work on that, then copy it over to the original sheet and delete the template.  This has worked for a long time, but recently, I've noticed that my file is growing exponentially even though the number of sheets and data is the same.  Anyone have this problem also.

You may have to reconstruct the structure of your data to result in only 1 data sheet and only 1 summary sheet. The latter shall pull data from the former based on specified parameters.
Copy to an empty workbook the data sheets.
