    Worksheet size reduction

    Hi,
    I had a data sheet that used about 20,000 rows, down to AF20000 or so. I deleted about 16,000 rows and now want to reduce the size of the worksheet so that when I hit Control+Shift+End, it takes me only to AF4000, not to AF20000. Can this be done without replicating into a new worksheet?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Did you try deleting the rows (not simply emptying them but rather deleting the entire rows) and then saving the file?

    It is usually sufficient. Have you closed and reopened the workbook?
