I have to work with a lot of data (basically a 500x500 matrix of
numbers). I understand that Excel can not handle more than 256
columns at a time. Is there a way to trick it to go beyond that? Are
there any pathes/downloads that can provide this enhancement?

You can upgrade to xl2007.

sorry messed up,
if you the the column number should be 400, should be like:
400-250 is 150

=INDIRECT("sheet2!" &ADDRESS(ROW(),150))

not as I previously posted
