How reduce the file size of Excel 2007 files (wasted non value spa
 

In Excel 2003 after running VBA programs many times there was extra
data/garbage in rows that follow the primary data (but not viewable). I
would delete the data and immedately save the file and the size would be
greatly decreased. In 2007 I am working with more records but I cannot
reduce the files size through deletion of unused rows. The slider bar
indicator is small and moves down the row less than a quarter of the way when
I hit the end of my data.

What does a slider bar have to do with the size of a file? If you have
excess data, select it and delete it, then save the document. If there's a
sufficient amount of data that you deleted, the file will be a smaller size.

In any event, XL 2007 files tend to be smaller in size than documents with a
similar amount of data formatted in previous versions. You may want to check
that you are actually saving the workbook in XL 2007 format, and not
compatibility mode.
