No, there is no such tool in Excel.

Not really,
but if there are cells with formulas which only needed to be calculated once
changing them to values will reduce the size.
Additionally, if you have a column of similar formulas, leave the top one as
a formula and paste value the rest. when you need an update just copy the
formula at the top down and recopy and paste values before you save

space if needed.
