Was wondering if you geniuses could help me, I have a 41MB file that doesnt have any array formulas or huge tabs in it (although there are a lot of tabs), I have done the basic deleting contents of unused cells but the file size doesnt change. Is there any way to check via code or other on the breakdown of size by tab? That way I could identify the ones that are bigger and then adjust accordingly otherwise this is just picking tabs at random and hoping for the best

thanks in advance

Try the code below written by @ZVI

VBA Code: 
Sub SheetsSize()
  
  Dim a(), Bytes As Double, i As Long, FileNameTmp As String
  Dim Sh, Wb As Workbook
  
  Set Wb = ActiveWorkbook
  ReDim a(0 To Wb.Sheets.Count, 1 To 2)
  
  ' Turn off screen updating
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  On Error GoTo exit_
  
  ' Put names into a(,1) and sizes into a(,2)
  With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    ' Build the temporary file nane
    FileNameTmp = .GetSpecialFolder(2) & "\" & Wb.Name & ".TMP"
    ' Save workbook
    Wb.SaveCopyAs FileNameTmp
    ' Put workbook's name and size into a(0,)
    a(0, 1) = Wb.Name
    a(0, 2) = .GetFile(FileNameTmp).Size
    ' Put each sheet name and its size into a(i,)
    For i = 1 To Wb.Sheets.Count
      Wb.Sheets(i).Copy
      ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs FileNameTmp
      a(i, 1) = Wb.Sheets(i).Name
      a(i, 2) = .GetFile(FileNameTmp).Size
      Bytes = Bytes + a(i, 2)
      ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    Next
    Kill FileNameTmp
  End With
  
   ' Show workbook's name & size
  Debug.Print a(0, 1), Format(a(0, 2), "# ### ### ##0") & " Bytes"
  
  ' Show workbook object's  size
  Debug.Print "Wb Object", Format(a(0, 2) - Bytes, "# ### ### ##0") & " Bytes"
  
  ' Show each sheet name and its size
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    Debug.Print a(i, 1), Format(a(i, 2), "# ### ### ##0") & " Bytes"
  Next
exit_:
  
  ' Restore screen updating and show error reason if happened
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  
  ' Show the reason of error if happened
  If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
End Sub

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

If you have access to Excel Online, it might be enlightening to load your spreadsheet to Excel Online and run the Check Performance feature.

The code wasn't designed to cure any errors, it was to ascertain the sheet sizes as requested

I understand this and wasnt looking for it to cure any errors I more meant as soon as I run the code that error message appears as if there is something wrong with the code, I tried it for about 15 tabs and the same thing happened every time. Not to worry thanks all for your help

If you just want a summary of the used ranges of all your sheets, give this a try.
Note: It creates a sheet called Worksheet Summary.
(You will need to manually delete that sheet if you want to run it again)

VBA Code: 
Sub WorksheetSummary()
    
    Dim Summary As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
    Dim RowNoStart As Long, RowNo As Long
    Dim strSheetName As String, strSheetAddress As String, strSheetName_Addr As String
    Dim bVisible As Boolean
    Dim i As Long

    Worksheets.Add Before:=Sheets(1)
    Set Summary = ActiveSheet
    Summary.Name = "WorkSheet Summary"
    
    RowNoStart = 1
    With Summary.Cells(RowNoStart, 1)
        .Value = "Summary"
        .Style = "Heading 1"
    End With
    
    RowNo = RowNoStart + 2
    
    Summary.Cells(RowNo, 1) = "Name"
    Summary.Cells(RowNo, 2) = "Used Range"
    Summary.Cells(RowNo, 3) = "Visible"
  
    With Summary.Rows(RowNo)
        .Font.Bold = True
        With .Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlMedium
            .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        End With
    End With
       
    For i = 2 To Worksheets.Count
            RowNo = RowNo + 1
            Set ws = Worksheets(i)
            Summary.Cells(RowNo, 1) = ws.Name
            
            ' Add HyperLink back to sheet to Sheet Name
            strSheetName = ws.Name
            strSheetAddress = "A1"
            strSheetName_Addr = "'" & strSheetName & "'!" & strSheetAddress

            ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Summary.Cells(RowNo, 1), Address:="", SubAddress:= _
                strSheetName_Addr, TextToDisplay:=strSheetName
            
            ' Continue adding other details
            Summary.Cells(RowNo, 2) = ws.UsedRange.Address
            bVisible = ws.Visible
            Summary.Cells(RowNo, 3) = bVisible

    Next

    Summary.Columns(1).Resize(, 3).AutoFit
    
End Sub
