Problem with excel file

Copper Contributor

For some reason this file of epidemic data has become unusable on my computer.  I have been compiling it weekly for nearly a year.  Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, every operation became incredibly slow.  A simple attempt to copy a new week's date into 52 cells made excel unresponsive.  This is not happening to me on other spreadsheets. This one is quite simple--there are no formulas in it--so I cannot understand what is happening. Thanks for any help. I attached the file.

The file contains a drawing of more than 185 megabyte. After removing this, the file size is smaller and the workbook is responsive again. See the attached version.

@Hans Vogelaar Thank you so much!  It must have accidentally come from the web page I get the data from.
