5. Lastly, you can check the new workbook’s data size, equal to the worksheet’s data size, in Windows Explorer, as shown in the following screenshot.
6. Now, you can use this way to get the data sizes of other worksheets one by one.

Method 2: Batch Get the Data Sizes of All Worksheets via VBA

1. To begin with, open the Excel VBA editor according to “How to Run VBA Code in Your Excel“.
2. Then, put the following code into a project or module.

Sub GetEachWorksheetSize()
    Dim strTargetSheetName As String
    Dim strTempWorkbook As String
    Dim objTargetWorksheet As Worksheet
    Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet
    Dim objRange As Range
    Dim i As Long
    Dim nLastEmptyRow As Integer

    strTargetSheetName = "Sheet Sizes"
    strTempWorkbook = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Temp Workbook.xls"

    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(Before:=Application.Worksheets(1))
         .Name = strTargetSheetName
         .Cells(1, 1) = "Sheet"
         .Cells(1, 1).Font.Size = 14
         .Cells(1, 1).Font.Bold = True
         .Cells(1, 2) = "Size"
         .Cells(1, 2).Font.Size = 14
         .Cells(1, 2).Font.Bold = True
    End With

    Set objTargetWorksheet = Application.Worksheets(strTargetSheetName)

    For Each objWorksheet In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If objWorksheet.Name <> strTargetSheetName Then
           objWorksheet.Copy

           Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strTempWorkbook
           Application.ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

           nLastEmptyRow = objTargetWorksheet.Range("A" & objTargetWorksheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1

           With objTargetWorksheet
                .Cells(nLastEmptyRow, 1) = objWorksheet.Name
                .Cells(nLastEmptyRow, 2) = FileLen(strTempWorkbook)
           End With

           Kill strTempWorkbook
         End If
    Next
End Sub

3. After that, press “F5” to run this macro right away.
