How to minimise the file size of exporting worksheets to excel workbook?

[tmc]

Can anyone tell me is there other option to minimise the size of exported workbook beside using "style=minimal"?
Cause the size of excel file(consist of 9 worksheets) that I exported is more than 20Mbs, where "style=minimal" did not help out much.

You could export to .csv and then let Excel deal with the lengths.

Consider zipping the SAS-generated export file as part of your processing.
