Excel Workbook does not have enough columns. There should be at least enough
for 367 (one for each day of the year - 365 plus the quarter plus the title).
At present I am creating a spreadsheet of an application that requires about
280 columns but I'm limited to 256. This is very frustrating. I will
probably have to end up creating over two worksheets which is an immense
amount more work.

At the minimum there should be an option that allows you to create an
exceptional oversize spreadsheet occasionally by nominating the columns and
rows you need. To have 65,000 odd rows is pretty (goddamn) useless when all
you need is a few extra columns.
