Hi
I dont have a formula problem but a general question if this is allowable
My excel file is 29.1MB on computer but on one drive it show 58MB
What can it be and is 29MB big for excel file
Its is saved as XLM I have try in past to save it as binary but not much better
Thanks

Hi,

try opening your file with a Zip file opener. (something like 7-zip or the likes..) .

Sounds weird, but you can dive into the directories and pinpoint exactly what making it so large.. maybe some hidden (or not hidden) GFx files embedded in there that you don't need.. so you can remove them.
cheers
