My Excel File Is Too Big | How To ‘Reduce Excel Size’ To Become Smaller.

Hello, I'm Michael Leng. Today, I'm going to tell you about how to reduce your Excel file size.

Why does my excel file size too big?


Mmm, well, let us come to the three methods resolve the problem.

Let's start the 1st. part following:

↪Delete un-necessary empty worksheet(s).


Because, some of the Excel workbooks have been setting to display empty worksheet(s) more than one worksheet by default with the sake not waste time to create the new spreadsheet every time when Excel user(s) want to use some more worksheets.

Therefore, if any of your Excel program has been settled by the administration. It has some empty spreadsheets in a workbook as default. This is mentioned as above lines earlier. You just delete them.
    Method:

    1] Right click onto the spreadsheet name tab "Sheet 1, Sheet 2,"

    2] Click the "Delete" function in the ribbon, which is displayed once you have done the "Right click" as line no.1 above right this line.


    Now, we come to the 2nd part:

    ↪Delete un-hide sheet(s).


    If your file has just hidden some spreadsheets and they have no any relevance with your workloads at all,-Delete them as a whole.
      Method:

      1] Right click onto any Excel spreadsheet name tab to bring out the functions ribbon.

      2] Click the "Unhide" function in the ribbon, which is displayed once you have done the "Right click" as the line above.

      3] To delete all the "Unhide" sheet that they do not have any relevance to your work data by repeating the step as shown as the method no.1.


      Here we go the last part for today article:

      ↬Delete the un-used transparent data cells in the current workload sheets


      To follow step by step below;
        Method:

        1] Click onto the end cell that retains data in it. It is usually at the farthest to the left cell of the column [A: bla bla].

        2] Press the “Ctrl + Shift + End” buttons and then release.

        3] Right click anywhere within the selected highlight cells.

        4] Click “Delete” in the format function float ribbon.

        5] Immediately, save the file.

        That’s all done!

        Note: 

        Checking the un-wanted transparent data status, whether it is gone by click the data ending cell and pressing the “Ctrl + Shift and End” buttons again. It should stop at the actual data-containing cell.

        What is the un-seen data cells?

        They happen while user clicking in that last cell and then delete data out, but excel will still keep memory on that weeds, some place of the cells that you have visited last time in the spreadsheet.

        That's the end of my today's ExcelTips post's article.
        Thank you for your kind attention and keep in touch.
