The limit per sheet is 65536 rows.

I don't know where the 98,304 came from.

For a VBA method of importing greater than 65536 rows over multiple sheets see

NOTE: Excel 2007(beta) has one million rows per sheet.

I would appreciate some instruction on this if anyone can help or

Thanks very much.

I have not yet installed the beta version of Office 2007.

There are many regulars in these groups that have.

Hopefully one of them will leap in and address your concern.

But, with versions up to now you could install just the components desired.

Best to wait for more help.

Thanks, Gord.

In one of the instruction sets I read, it said "If your worksheet
contains more than 65,536 but fewer than 98,304 rows, use the Text
Import Wizard to import the text file into multiple worksheets" -
that's where I got the 98,304 from, but I realize now when I look at
it that it still needs to go into multiple worksheets.

Is there any way to use Excel 2007 without having to update/include MS
Word? I am so reluctant to do that because everything on my system
always goes haywire when I make any changes to MS Word and it takes me
weeks to put all my settings back together! <sigh

Thanks again.

I wouldn't do it since a beta, I use virtual pc and installed the beta
there, otherwise I have had 3 different versions of Office installed on the
same PC without using an virtual hard drives but I wouldn't do it with a
beta. However it seems that MS offer virtual pc for free now!
Once you have installed you need to install a windows OS on the virtual hd.

When you use the Data Import Wizard you can adjust the "Start Import at
Row" value - this is set to 1 by default, but can be increased to 32k
(32768), and with this setting you can then import a further 64k rows
from a text file.

Thus, if your text file contains up to 96k rows (98304) then in theory
you can import all of these, but it must be done in two passes - the
first pass would import rows 1 to 64k into one worksheet and the second
pass would bring in rows 32k to 96k into a second worksheet, with rows
32k to 64k being duplicated in both sheets.

Hope this helps.
