Dear All

I have only one page text data in an excel sheet but the file size is about
1mb.

Pls tell me what could be the reason and how to make the file smaller.

Select by SHIFT + End + RightArrow and delete all columns right of your used
range.

Select and delete all rows below your used range.

Save the workbook.

In some versions you have to save/close and re-open to effect a change in
size.

Dear All

Thanks for the guidance but now I figured it out.

The file was big on account of it being a shared file and on unsharing the
file size has come to 90k. once again thanks for the tips and help
