Default Excel Range : Row limit

Just a thought but is it possible to have the stored procedure update a Table
in MS Access instead of the spreadsheet? If so then you could have the Pivot
table reference the table instead of a range of cells. By referencing the
database Excel has no specific limit that I am aware of. I successfully
linked a Pivot table to over 650,000 records with excellent results.

If not then you can set up a non-contiguious range when you define the raw
data for the pivot table, but as you add more sheets you are going to have to
keep redefining the raw data range...

Hope this helps...

Hello Everyone,
We have a pivot table that is being populated by an Excel worksheet
range. The range is filled by data retrieved by a stored proc.
Recently we exceeded the 65k row limit of Excel. I have been successful
in breaking up the feed to the worksheet into contiguos blocks of data -
each of 65k rows.

How do I combine all these blocks into single range for giving as input
to the Pivot table?
Does the Excel range have a 65 k row limit too?
