Too many bytes on spreadsheet

[pcubeta]

I have two similar (they have the same amount of information on each one) spreadsheets that I normally use. However, one for some reason is 51.5 KB and the other 131MB. How can I convert the large one to 51.5 KB? The large one takes a long time when trying to save. Thank you

Make sure that the columns and rows beyond the visible used range are really empty.

Then try the following:

• Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
• Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
• Type the word ActiveSheet.UsedRange and press Enter.
• Switch back to Excel and save the workbook.

Does that make a difference?

As variant, if you have Inquire in your version of Excel you may Clean Excess Cell Formatting with it.
