Too few columns!

[johnwilliams]

I am trying to create a calendar for all the working days in 2006
Annoyingly, when I reach the column headed IV it will not allow me t
move any further across, i.e. I cannot insert any new columns. As I'
only about 6 days away from the end of the year this is highl
annoying!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

John

Hi John

256 is the max columns in Excel (until Excel 12 next year when it becomes 1024)

You could make a calendar for workdays each month and have them as "blocks
of data" om the page. You should be able to get 2 months side by side, with
6 months down the page.

Actually 16,384!

Quite right Jim.

I don't know why 1,024 came to mind, other than the obvious factor of 2!!
Maybe its because I can't imagine myself ever wanting that many columns -
but then again, when I got my first 10MByte hard disk I couldn't imagine how
I could ever want more<vbg>.

It is mind-blowing but... how long after release will it be until we see our
first "how can I increase the number of columns?" post. It will happen,
although maybe the same re the paltry 1 meg of rows will beat it.<g>
