I tried both doing it the manual way as described in the link you gave me and downloaded the add-in and clearing it with it. Still nothing that did not reduce the size.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

nope,it is a drawback of this forum that you cannot attach the problem workbook.

Where you able to download it? If not I can put it out somewhere else out on the web?

Hi axg275,

Your bloated file size appears to be due to corruption of the charts.
If you unhide the 2 hidden sheets, you can select all 4 sheets, copy to a new workbook and save the new file.

Doing that reduced the file size from 6.6 MB to 200 K.

To Martin's point, you might try using Box.com instead of 4Shared since it doesn't require registration by the people who will download your file.
