Reduce File Size

I've created a document for work that has a lot of formulas & calculations. Overall it's size is just under 4mb. I will be wanting to put this file on a shared network drive so all users can have access to it but it will take a long time to open / save the file (I have put files of 2mb in size on the drive already and it takes around 2 minutes to open / save).

Is there any way that the file size can be reduced? It has no images or pictures of fancy graphics, it just displays data and from what is entered on one sheet formula's then calculate what each store requires on another sheet. I estimate that there is around 2000 formulas / calculations, all written i.e. no macros or VBA used.

VBA Noob and NVBC will have an idea of what I'm on about as they have seen a small version of the file when helping me with some of the formulas.

Many Thanks,

Try this. (There are various versions of it on VBAExpress and elsewhere on the web.)

It goes without saying that you would use this on a copy of your file and check the result afterward ...

Thanks shg,
Do I just copy the above into a new module and then run the macro?

Have to excuse me but as you can tell I'm not too good with these kind of things

Yeah I done that.... unfortunately it hasn't made any difference to the file size
