How can I insert more columns than the limits of IV?
I have a dataset that contains more than 1500 column variables. Excel only
allows me to go to column IV, which is far short of what I need. How can I expand the number of columns to fully capture all of my variables? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. |

You can use MS Access...
:) I mean, excel doesn't allow that. It's a natural limitation. OR you may "rotate" your dataset, in case you have less than ~200 rows :) "jstout" wrote...

You can't increase the number of columns in Excel.
You can use more sheets to hold the overflow. "jstout" wrote: I have a dataset that contains more than 1500 column variables.

Only solution is to get your hands on a copy of XL 2007 which has 16000+
columns. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "jstout" wrote: I have a dataset that contains more than 1500 column variables.

Access won't help you here. It is limited to 255 fields in a table. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Raffael" wrote in message ...
