How big is too big for an Excel file?
It's just a matter of how long you want to wait for the results. I've got
some 3 page workbooks that are 15 megs just with 8 months sales data extracted from an access based sales software. "Penny C." wrote: I've got an Excel file that is nearly 9MB. It has 68 tabs, half of which are mostly formulas. 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. |
