Excel 2003 has only 65536 rows available.

If possible, break your incoming data into manageable chunks of less than 65536
then spread out over multiple worksheets.

OR..........Use a macro to break up the incoming data.

Running Excel 2003

Received the following message when downloading a report from our mainframe...

Dataset has exceeded the maximum of 70,000.00 unable to continue formatting...

Any ideas as to what has caused this, or what I can do to correct?

TIA,
