Limitation on number of rows

A have a large amount of transaction data which I wish to manipulate but I cannot fit it into the 65536 rows available in Excel - is there any way of adding further rows beyond the 65536 already there?

RE: Limitation on number of rows

Excel cannot handle more data than the max rows. The next step would be to use MS Access, as it can handle more data.

RE: Limitation on number of rows

I agree with Richard, Excel up to version 2003 only has 65,536 rows, and perhaps Access is the way to go, however if you must use Excel, then version 2007 has many more rows, in fact I got up to nearly 200,000 rows and gave up, my scroll wheel was getting too hot.

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
