Bob's row limit question

Default Is there a limit to the number of rows in a excel spread sheet ?

Hi,

I am using a script to build various worksheets in an excel spread sheet.

From looking at the results, the last row that I am getting is 65536 which
if memory serves me is the largest unsigned binary number that can be stored
in 2 bytes. Is this an excel limitation ? If it is can it be overridden ?

Thanks in Advance

Bob

Yes, you're right. Each excel worksheet can have only 65536 lines.

xl97 to xl2003 have a limit of 64k rows.

xl2007 will have 1 meg rows.

This is per worksheet. You can add more worksheets if you want.

See Excel Help for "specifications" for such documented limitations.
