What is the Max number of records/row allowed in Excel 2007

[Guest]

Okay,

I know that until 2007 excel has a max allowed rows of around 65536. I have
read answers here that that cap is no long applied to excel 2007. What is
the cap in 2007 or what is the limiting factor now in excel 2007 for the
number of records/rows one can have in a worksheet.

One million rows (and 16384 columns).

I haven't seen xl2007 in person, but if you just create a new workbook (not in
xl2003 (or below)) format, what do you see at the bottom?

You probably opened an existing workbook. That will be opened in compatibility mode.
You can use the Save as.. dialog to save it as a native 2007 workbook.. Then it will have all the properties of an Office 2007
workbook.

You are right, I opened up an existing workbook. When I tried a new one, it
had the 1mm + rows. Thanks very much.
