Filesize: embedded data validation lists all stored independently?
I have 4 named ranges that are used as sources for data validation lists. On
my worksheet, I have: 120 cells associated with a named range with 2 items, 60 cells associated with a named range that will have (on average) about 50 items 10 cells associated with a named range with about 20 items, and 60 cells associated with a named range containing about 4000 items Does each data validation cell store a copy of the full list, as well as the currently selected index value, or does the sheet (or entire workbook) share one 'copy' of the named range, with each data validation cell only using as much memory as it takes to store the index value for that cell? I tried deleting sections of the data validation cells, but it didn't affect the filesize, so either the file is storing undo information, or only the index is stored and my lists are taking a lot more memory than I ever would have expected. I appreciate any information available on the use of memory by data validation list cells based on named ranges. Thanks! Keith |
