Huge increase in file size
 

Hi,

I've got a spreadsheet that's about 500K in total.

I've got another spreadsheet that is far smaller, but uses links from
the larger one.

The smaller spreadsheet is almost 11MB in size. I imagine this much be
something to do with the links. Is there anything I can do to
drastically reduce the file size?

Is there a simple way to kind of make the spreadsheet "forget" the
links and literally use the data that's in the cells?

Thanks,

Graeme

Hi
You can copy the range in situ and then Paste Special/Values to clear the
formulas and links and leave just the values.
