How big is too big for an Excel file?
Here are a couple of links to everything you ever wanted to know about XL
memory but were affraid to ask... http://www.decisionmodels.com/memlimits.htm http://www.decisionmodels.com/memlimitsc.htm IMO your bigger problem is having 68 sheets which is going to become more and more unmanagable as time goes on... -- HTH...

Management uses it as the be-all-end-all data repository for our KPMs, and they refuse to allow me to paste values in for some of the older data (it goes back to 1998). I caution them each time we add a new tab that I'm nervous about how much more it will take and that formulas could get corrupt, etc. I've done everything I can think of to make sure it is as small as possible without deleting anything or changing formulas. Because of some of the calculations, it is not easily put into an Access database. Am I worried for nothing? It has been taking longer and longer to open and save it. |
