simpliyfying the question further format 1 has less rows but more columns
e.g. 8303 rows * 122 columns = 1013576 elements format 2 has more rows and more datasets of less number of columns e.g. 17488 rows ( for all levels) * 7 columns (each level) = 122136 elements 1013576 > 122136. Formar 1 has more elements, but is it possible that format 1 takes less space than format 2 because of less number of datasets? How does this work?
