Default Max # of Columns

You cannot increase the number of columns. It is fixed at 256 (XL2003
and earlier) or about 18K (XL2007 and later).

Default Max # of Columns

In Excel 2003, the maximum is 256 columns. In Excel 2007, the maximum is
16,384 columns. AFAIK there is no way to go beyond these limits.

Hope this helps,

Hutch
