I’m having an issue where my excel workbooks are almost doubling in size. I have a master workbook that produces consolidated company reports (12 tabs) and 12 more tabs that populate based off a selected Department. There are about 10 data tabs at the end. Today I deleted all the consolidated tabs and the report went from 70k to 98k in size. Similar thing happened last week where it went from 38 to 70. I add data each week but that usually only adds up to .3k in file size. Any ideas to help?

Help me save the day: have a massive excel file (600k rows) with duplicate records (column a, b and c are duplicate, not a duplicate if a and b are the same though). How can I filter for just these records? If it didn’t crash excel I could concat into one column, Conditional format for duplicates, and sort by color. What’s a work around?
