Hi Holly

What version of Excel do you have?
If it is XL2007, you can import the whole 200,000 records to a single
sheet.
If you have an earlier version, then you would need to chop the file
into chunks of < 65535 records, to allow for a header row for each
sheet.

Chip Pearson has some code to do this on his site at
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ImportBigFiles.htm

Be aware, however, that subsequently creating a Pivot Table from
Multiple Consolidation ranges, which is what you would have to do from
your 4 sheets, may produce slightly different results to those expected.

Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site
