Updating code for "Reducing Excel File Size" by DRJ

[U_Shrestha]

Hello,

I had found the following code by DRJ in this forum. It reduced my file from 8 MB to 1.5 MB. Thanks DRJ, for you contribution. Now, I am wondering if there can be another code that would include the named ranges or formulas when any new rows are added in the workbook so that I do not have to update the formulas and ranges when new rows are added. Thanks.

Dim ws As Worksheet

You can create Dynamic Ranges using the Offset function
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),1)
Is this what you're after?
