Excel then interprets that your file size has just increased from 230
lines to 65,536 (ie the max number of rows) as you have 'done'
something to the remaining rows (ie hidden them). It therefore needs
to record these rows which thus uses storage increasing the file size
(it doesn't record them if they are empty).

Hope this helps!

Hide Row to hide all the rows higher than 230 the size of the file increases
