When I try to change cell formats, there's a pop-up coming up; "Too many
different cell formats" . I have tried to clear some not importent sheets
with Edit/clerar/formulas, but it doesn't help.

I really need help....

Clearing formula won't help. You need to delete some custom formats. The
problem is that these accumulate over time, as they remain even if not used.

In the section "POWER PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE By Leo Heuser" you will find
code to search for unused custom formats and delete them. It's very
effective.

Hi
Tank's, I have tried that Sub in the site you told me. It works in a small
file but in my megafile something madness happens, it runs some minutes and
the only result is one more sheet (Sheet). But if I (after clicked NO in the
promt)print "fn+Break" quickly (in 2 - 4 sec) - Debug - and start the Sub
agin it runs!!
My be you are able to find ut whats wrong.
Thank's in advance //M

Microsoft's advice is to reduce the number of formats in use.

Hope this helps.
