Handling very large files (too many rows)
I'm trying to analyse a set of data. However, the data is a CSV fil with almost 1.5 million rows, which somewhat excedes the 65 thousand o so that excel can handle. However, excel is what I'm used to. If ther any convenient way to import so much data? Alternately, can anyon recomend a different means to observe and process that amount of data -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com

I really think that is way too much for Excel, even if you break it into bits. What you should use depends on how you want to analyse the data. Access can handle that quantity of data. Maybe, if you are going to filter the data down to a manageable subset or summary you could import it to Access and then query it using MS Query in Excel if using Excel is important to you.

VaughanDo you really need all 1.5 million rows? If not, maybe you could reduce the rows to import before you try to import it. (your favorite text editor or even a little program that keeps just the records you want.) "Kingston999 <" wrote: > > I'm trying to analyse a set of data.

ec35720In reply to the clarifications requested above: 1. It looks like I do need at least a substantial proportion of th rows. However, being able to import every tenth value might work, i someone could suggest a way of doing that. 2. The reason I'm trying to use Excel is that I know how to use it. don't know how to use Access, for example, and I am not sure what els I could use. If anyone could suggest a different program suitable fo analysising large amounts of data, I'd be very grateful -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com
Kingston999.19hg4rDepending what you mean by analysis, you may be able to use Data|Pivottable and point at the .CSV file. Or put the data in Access and use excel to extract it. (I've read posts that this is possible--I don't use Access.) If you don't get enough help here, you may want to go to one of the Access newsgroups and tell them your problem. Maybe it'll turn into a simple (haha) solution. "Kingston999 <" wrote: > > In reply to the clarifications requested above: > > 1.

Every 10th row would still mean approx. 150,000 rows, and that stil can't fit into a single worksheet, so you'd still be faced with th same sort of problems (analyzing data spanning multiple worksheets) a you would if you imported all 1.5 million rows.

Spreadsheets are only good at analyzing small to moderate amounts o data. 1.5 million records is way to much for any spreadsheet to handl at all well.

hgrove.19idg1Hi! Slightly OT. The thought occurs that there might be occasions when "paralle processing" could be used to extend the usable rows of Excel. What I mean is: if the content of the rows runs to, say, 32 column (A-AF) then A-IV would accommodate 8 such parallel sets of columns each set self-contained. That could, effectively, give access to 8 (2^16-1) working rows: say 0.5 million. I've never tried such a device, but it has to work (in theory), doesn' it? The practice? Al -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com
AlfD.19luyjI'm sure you could do something with the data--but you'd lose a lot of the stuff that you can do in excel easily--just inserting/deleting rows would be a pain. And I know that when I approach 40k-50k rows (and 50 columns (say)) in a single worksheet (with lots of vlookup()'s and other formulas), excel can slow down to almost a halt.

Kingston999.19mx0yI don't have a suggestion. The last time I had to work with that many rows, I brought it to our mainframe and trimmed it down so that it would fit into excel.

VSTO 2005: Error in Schema Files Generation
In XML schema generation from a WordML document, VSTO 2005 VSTO creates 6 files (general naming pattern): XML.XSD ... XML5.XSD. For our file names we use a special syntax for additional information on the project status. - Syntax for file names: {PRE}={TOPIC}_{POST}.{STATUS}.{FORMAT} Now, VSTO 2005 modifies its general naming pattern to XML.{STATUS}{I}.{FORMAT}. - Example - XML.ABCD.XSD - XML.ABCD1.XSD (instead of XML1.ABCD.XSD) - ... - XML.ABCD5.XSD (instead of XML5.ABCD.XSD) I consider this behavior of VSTO 2005 as a programming error. - Is this consideration correct? - How ...
No menu bars appear on newly installed Outlook 2003 (PST file)
I just built up a new system (Windows XP SP2, Office 2003 Pro) and move my Outlook.pst file over from my old system. Since I had Norton Internet Security 2005 installed, the anti-spam toolbar was displayed. However, after only a few hours of usage, the menu bars are not working properly: 1. When I start up Outlook and mail is displayed, there are no menu bars displayed. None. 2. If I go to the lower left corner navigation bar and select mail and Open in New Window, the standard and formatting menu bars are displayed. But the Norton Anti-Spam bar does not display. 3. When I open an indiv...
Reading EML files
Does anyone know if Outlook can be configured to open .eml files? I wrote a program that creates .eml files. Outlook Express can open them but Outlook can't. Is there a way to get Outlook to open these? If not, does anyone know how I can create a file that Outlook can open (such as a .msg)? Is there a COM object that creates these? Any help will be appreciated. John ...

RPC .x files.
I need to talk to some third party equipment. The company has provided an RPC interface consisting of three .x files. The provided third party documentation just glosses over how to compile and use these files. Though the equipment is new, I think this interface is quite old. The documentation example says to use the command "rpcgen32.exe filename". They say the command my differ depending on the software package. I searched the Microsoft site and found a bunch of stuff. At first I looked at the midl compiler. The .idl files look different then the .x files. Can someone please poin...

Money 2005 Delux runs too slowly: after many years of upgrading
I have been using Money since 1996. I have upgraded each year, each time upgrading the file. I also archive all trasactions from Jan 1 - Dec 31. This program runs very slowly even without all the extra transactions. I can't figure it out. I download transactions and it takes forever for them to show up in the register. When I accept them, it takes forever for that to take. This was also the case in Money 2004. Are there any reccomendations? Should I start a new file and import the tranactions?

convert .csv file to .cub using access
I am using Microsoft Access to work with a .CSV file that contains 250,000 rows of information. I'd like to convert that file to a .CUB file so that I can use Microsoft Data Analyzer to "drill" down the information. Does anyone have any ideas? Hi John, As I understand it, the normal way would be to use the Cube Wizard in the OLAP Manager, after importing and normalising the file into SQL Server tables. It may be possible to use the Cube Wizard against an ODBC connection to an MDB file. But as I understand it the point of using OLAP cubes is to denormalise a set of views...

This particular document has 220 reports that all have the same basic format. I have tried exporting various file types (tif, jpg, wmf, bmp, etc.) from VISIO, then inserting into Word as picture or object and most are unacceptable quali...
