The increase number of rows in Excel

[Guest]

I'm working in Telecom industry, where I'm using Excel almost 90% of my
duties, I am facing the problem when I want to transport the information
from the billing system to Excel, I am talking about 1,000,000 + entries
(rows), where excel it only have 65,000 rows, it is very difficult to split
the data into different sheet, it is also a time consume to run the quiry in
the billing by considering the limitation of excel, to carry all the rows
extracted from billing. i.e. I f i want the data from 1st to 31st, then I
have split them in 3 group ( ten days each) I would suggest to increase
number of rows atleast to 2,000,000 rows. in addition to that CDR extracted
from billing system contains more then 2,000,0000 entries.

Excel 2007 will have 1.048.576 rows.

For now I can suggest you to import your data in MS Access and then from
Access you can export to Excel the summary you need

And how long did we all think it would be before someone asked for the
new limit of 1 million rows in Excel 2007 to be increased<vbg>

wise_man the new version of Excel has had the limits increased to 1
million rows and 16,000 columns.
At present it is not released as a final product, but is available as a
Beta download from the Microsoft website.
Maybe you could try it out to see if it is of help to you, but be aware
that it is still a BETA version.

It was inevitable, what worries me is that with 65,000 rows and 256 columns,
any SUMIFs, VLOOKUPs, etc grind the workbook to a halt. Granted, XL2007 has
a new multi-threaded calculation engine, which will help, but that much data
just shouldn't be in Excel, it's highly inefficient and cries out for a
normalised database, with Excel as a front-end to do the summary reporting.

In my eyes, we will come to regret the bigger grid!

Hi Nick

I quite agree.
It was perhaps foolish of me not to point out in my post that a database
solution would be far preferable.

I still haven't loaded my copy of XL2007 yet to even look at what a
calculation on a single column of 1m rows behaves like - just for the
hell of it, not because I would contemplate using it in this way.

 

[Nick Hodge]

We have a workbook at work that takes about 30 seconds to calculate in 2003
and about 20seconds in 2007, which is great, but this is inter-worksheet
linking and not at all using a lot of rows and columns.

There's a huge difference between 16777216 cells (97>2003) and 17179869184
cells (2007). I'm not even sure if you can enter a 1 in each without hitting
the memory limit...off to try!

Roger,

here comes again, I have a file with more then 65,536 rows, which is not
capable in fitting to one worksheet, is excel can manage automaticaly to open
it or split into different worksheet in one workbook.

Dear Franz,

First thank you, it did work out, however i still have one propblem, the
text file exported to excel contains characters such as commas and tabs
separater, hence forth I also want the exportaion process to consider these
characters and split accordingly to different collums insted of all the
records posted to one column

I still seek for your assistance.

You can use the Text to columns utility (menu Data, Text to columns) to
split your data. You could also use the Macro recorder (while using Text to
columns utility) to record a macro that split the imported data.

Dear Team,

I remember you help me out my keen questions few month back, which I really
apriaciate for that, but now I come with another question, I have two columns
one is containg Country Codes (one cell one contry code) and the other Column
containingg Dial codes, in which you can find too many dial codes in one
Cell, this is very dependable on its Country Numbering Plan. However all
dial codes are separated with commas. Consequently, my question is there any
formular I can use to take Contry codes from one Column and add infornt of
each Dial code in another Column that are separated by Commas??? It has been
difficult to me to use CONCATENATE since there is too many Dial codes in one
Cell and all are separated with Commas. What I'm doing Currently is adding
mannually, which the task has become tidious and time consume.

thank you in adavance for your help.

If the country code is in A1 and the comma-separated dialling codes in B1,
then
=A1&SUBSTITUTE(B1,",",","&A1)
in C1 will do what you ask. E.g. if A1 contains 49 and B1 211,221,228,30,69
, then C1 will display 49211,49221,49228,4930,4969. Be careful about your
thousand separators.
