Thanks but what all include in this format reset.

This will remove ALL formats from all cells in the active worksheet.  If you do this on every worksheet in your workbook, I can pretty much guarantee that you'll only have __1__ format left.  Your "too many different cell formats" message will go away.

Sharath,

The best tool that I have found for removing this problem from large spreadsheets (where manually removing the formatting in large chunks is not practical or desireable) is by a crowd called xlsgen, http://xlsgenreduction.arstdesign.com/index_en.html. While it does cost $50 it is a must have utility

Free tools - that from my experience don't achive the same quantity of reduction as xlsgen - but will still help include Leo Heuser's code  at http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/eee/eee007.txt and ASAP utilities, http://www.asap-utilities.com/

Cheers
