Split a text file with more than 65536 lines over many worksheets

[jo77]

Hi everyone,
I would like to process a text file with more than 65536 lines. Is
there any possiblity to do that with Excel ?
Either to do it in many iterations (like import lines 1 to 65536, then
65537 to 131072, and so on) or to import it once and split lines 1 to
65536 on sheet 1, lines 65537 to 131072 on sheet 2 etc...

Thanks for any feedback & have a great weekend!

I would use a text editor to split the text file into smaller pieces (maybe
notepad???).

Then you can import each piece into different worksheets/workbooks.

Hi

Upgarde your MS-Office to Office 2007 is the best possible solution.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Upgrading to Excel 2007 would be an
idea, but I'm not the one deciding it in my firm.... I'll have to wait
a little bit...

Thanks ManicMiner17 for the link, I'll study & try this, sounds
interesting.
Have a nice day !
