Demonstrative Pronoun "das"
"das" refers to a specific item previously mentioned or shown.
Preposition "in" + Dative
The preposition "in" governing a location or state takes the dative case; therefore "einer" (feminine dative) is used.

Because "Größe" is feminine, the dative indefinite article is "einer".
Adjective Declension "anderen"
After an indefinite article in the dative, the adjective takes the weak ending "-en".

"Größe" means size and is always feminine: die Größe, der Größe (dative).

Hast du das in einer andere Größe?
When using an indefinite article, the adjective must take the weak ending "-en" ("anderen").

Cultural Tip
In German-speaking countries it is common to ask politely and to use the formal "Sie" in larger stores or when you do not know the staff. Many shops keep a size chart nearby, so you can also say "Können Sie mir die Größentabelle zeigen?". Remember that "Größe" can refer to clothing, shoes, or even dimensions of a product, so the context is clear from the item you are pointing at.
