It was inevitable, what worries me is that with 65,000 rows and 256 columns,
any SUMIFs, VLOOKUPs, etc grind the workbook to a halt. Granted, XL2007 has
a new multi-threaded calculation engine, which will help, but that much data
just shouldn't be in Excel, it's highly inefficient and cries out for a
normalised database, with Excel as a front-end to do the summary reporting.

In my eyes, we will come to regret the bigger grid!

And how long did we all think it would be before someone asked for the new
limit of 1 million rows in Excel 2007 to be increased<vbg

wise_man the new version of Excel has had the limits increased to 1
million rows and 16,000 columns.
At present it is not released as a final product, but is available as a
Beta download from the Microsoft website.
Maybe you could try it out to see if it is of help to you, but be aware
that it is still a BETA version.

I'm working in Telecom industry, where I'm using Excel almost 90% of my
duties, I am facing the problem when I want to transport the information
from the billing system to Excel, I am talking about 1,000,000 + entries
(rows), where excel it only have 65,000 rows, it is very difficult to
split
the data into different sheet, it is also a time consume to run the quiry
in
the billing by considering the limitation of excel, to carry all the rows
extracted from billing. i.e. I f i want the data from 1st to 31st, then I
have split them in 3 group ( ten days each) I would suggest to increase
number of rows atleast to 2,000,000 rows. in addition to that CDR
extracted
from billing system contains more then 2,000,0000 entries.
