I'd assume some crappy template from the agency with a font specified, and Numbers then handles it poorly and applies that formatting to every single cell. That tends to be the thing when someone sends over a sparsely populated sheet that's inexplicably 50MB and runs extremely slowly.
In Excel at least then find the place with the last bit of real data and then delete every row/column after it (i.e. selecting the rows at the left so that it has every column, then ctrl-shift-down to get to the last cell in the worksheet. then right-click on the columns, delete)
Potentially do the same for all the rows after the last useful data.Also, get Excel. Isn't it free now anyway from the app store?

Why are Numbers files so big?
I'm freelancing with an agency that requires me to complete a timsheet supplied in a 17kb excel. I don't have excel and when opening/editing/saving in Numbers it comes out at nearly 150MB!
Usuing Number's reduce file size doesn't do anything.
