I am having an issue with file sizes due to a complex series of formulas that I'm trying to solve.
Basically, I have an 'Entry' worksheet, which new entries are added to. Based off of each entry, a formula checks to see how to categorize each record that is added. Another formula creates a unique identifier so that a summarized view can be created on a different "Journal" tab. There are a couple other formulas that calculate dates and whatnot.
I've found that these formulas are a space hog and simply having them doubles the size of the spreadsheet. Currently, I just have the formulas copied down many rows. Is it possible to not have a formula in these cells until it sees a new record added? I've created dynamic ranges before, but this seems like a slightly different scope since I need the formula to copy down as the range expands.
Any thoughts? I'm stumped, and need to keep these file sizes down to a minimum.
