Paul Thank you for your help. Yup the file size got reduced but not to greater extent the size came down to 26MB.
But I tried the same with other file that contains only data there the file size got reduced to 16MB. May be my file contains a Pivot so the file size is not reduced so much:( Anyway thanks for it..
