You don't. Excel is limited to 256 colums. Two alternatives:

1) Swing your table around, make the colum headings the row headings.... not
a good suggestion at all though.
2) Get your data into Access... I guess you already have it. Then run your
data analysis in Excel straight from the Access database.... much better.

How do I get 1050 columns into Excel? Alternatively, which other tool can
I
use for this that is not too expensive?
