Have and excel spreadsheet, roughly 90 mb, if II make a workspace that simply reads that excel file and writes it, the size of the written excel file by FME is about 179 mb.
I am just using the defaults on both the reader and writer. If I open the file in excel and clear all cell formatting, and save, it drops the file size down to about 109 mb. Any Ideas why FME is writing a file that is almost double the size of the source file? and is there any way to clear out any formatting, assuming that is where the bloat is coming from ?
