I have over 2Gb of RAM and over 13Gb of free hard drive space. So why can't I
pull in more data? I get an error stating that I don't have enough available
resources so close some applications (which I've done) or choose less data
(get real!). I open Task Manager and it shows that I have megabytes of RAM
and page file space still available! What gives? Microsoft Query gives the
same message, like when I'm getting external data for a pivot table.
Most of the time this isn't a problem but sometimes I have to pull a lot of
data but Excel just doesn't want to cooperate. I'm not pulling in more
columns than Excel can display, I know that. As for rows, that's hard to say.
For big data sets, yes to more rows, but that shouldn't matter with a pivot
table, right? Heck, MS Query sometimes will show less than 9000 records (but
there will be a lot of fields) and error out saying it can't display all
rows...WTF? Naturally, the data set bombs when used for Excel.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Is there some kind of cache adjusting I can fiddle
with?
