Empty Workseek: File still too large (>300k)
Hi,
I have an Excel file of 1 worksheet, containing data in about 20 rows by 20 columns, which is 310 kB ! I noticed copying the range of cells A3:E7 and pasting it doubles the file size, but I cannot find anything wrong in those cells. I tried the following: 1) If I copy all worksheet and paste it in a new worksheet file, the new file size is the same, 300kB 2) If I copy and paste all the data column by column, the new file size is 16 kB ! 3) If I copy all worksheet and paste values only, the new file size is 14 kB 4) If I delete all the data and the cell formats in the original worksheet, I still get a large size of 300 kB ! This is weird. I have nothing in the worksheet, no hidden worksheet, and I really deleted the rows and columns by selecting them and pressing DELETE. When I press CTRL-END, the cursor stays at cell A1. I did save the files under different names, I even closed and opened Excel. I can send you the file if you wish, you'll see it is emply and still 300kB Please help me understand what is wrong with my file ! Thanks, Anik |
