Sleeper: Working with more than 65000 rows and Pivot Tables

[philh06]

Hi all,

Wonder if you can help (a quick search on here didnt produce what I was looking for)

I hold a lot of data (currently in 2 worksheets due to volume and exceeding the limit of 65000 rows - the max limit for excel 03??) and I am finding Pivot Table analysis quite limited due to the fact that I am using 2 worksheets.

I would like (if possible) to analyse the data from one worksheet only, in other words, is there any way to increase the max. number of rows in a ny given worksheet

I have considered stripping some of the data to make the worksheet smaller but really need all the data to be able to analyse efficiently

I am also aware that excel 07 can handle more than a million rows but the company are not due to upgrade until later this yr

Hope you can help

Phil

You can't increase the number of rows in excel.
I've no experience of this but a pivot table can use an external data source. Possible you could store your data in Access and analyse it from there.
