Hi Guys<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have a file which has several pivots from a data cube in it. The pivots have a fixed lookback period of 365 days of data. So my question is how does a file size constantly get bigger and bigger when the data is simply rotating round and there is only a fixed amount of cells of data? Is there some kind of history of changes in the file which is building up with refreshes?<o:p></o:p>

The problem is this is causing my file to open slowly and generally be quite slow.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>
