[dba-Tech] Excel bloat question

Yes, totally. We've got some spreadsheets at work that just keep track of
courier requests etc, and they have lines added, removed, and coloured maybe
10 times a day. After a year or so, they get to a big enough size that some
of the lower end PCs just can't open them, and that's only around the 5-6mb
mark.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Excel bloat question

I know how to reduce worksheet bloat, but I'm wondering how much of a
problem it really is? I don't work with Excel enough, so I don't have the
means to test. Can bloat seriously impact performance?
