Excel 2007 - extra columns

[C3PU10]

Hello,
Whenever I add a chart to a worksheet (in Excel 2007), the number of
columns in that worksheet extend till column XFD - more than 16,000
column even if I use only 4...

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Regardless of the number of rows/columns used XL2007 has 1,048,576 rows by
16,384 columns. It has nothing to do with having or not having a chart.
However, the size of the file depends on how many cell have entries. There
is not way to change the number of rows or column but you can hide some.
best wishes

People have asked for more columns since Excel 4, and you want to give them
back? The extra columns do not take up any space, Excel is programmed to
show them even if they are empty.
