hello Gentlepeople
I have been given workbooks that are use more memory than makes sense.
All are data; no formulas.
the smallest is a xlsx file of 173MB.
91308 rows, 35 Columns
If I make a file with the same number of rows and columns, the file size is 8.76MB
copying and pasting values in a new workbook does not help.
These files also have problems calculations:
I need to match two of these workbooks to see if they have the same value for the same ID
I tried doing a sumif down one worksheet and it will not calculate down to the bottom row. About a 3rd of the way through, it just repeats the value down to the bottom.
I checked for non-printing characters. Only found 33.
Is there a way to check what may be happening in the background to make these workbooks so unwieldy?
Thanks
