Last Cell (Ctrl+End) is past millionth row but no data that I can find

[Yvonne Love]

I'm not ever sure how to phrase this to google it, so I thought I'd post the question here.

I have a spreadsheet with not a lot of data per sheet that is over 66MB. I discovered that 12 of the tabs have the end cell as Q1048572 (or close). The last row with any kind of data is at the most row 300 on any of those tabs, so I tried to first clear (select cells and hit the delete key), and then actually delete (using delete row), all the blank rows after the last row with data. That didn't work - it still shows the last cell past the millionth row. Any thoughts on how to delete whatever data is making that be the last cell? I made a copy of that spreadsheet and pasted values and fixed those 12 tabs, and the size is 657kb. The "live" file has all of the formulas and such that I want so I don't want to have to recreate those if I don't have to.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! One site said it could have to do with formatting, and when I selected the rows/cells below the last row and cleared formats/conditional formatting, that worked.

Thank you!
