Export it as a CSV

Just note that opening the CSV back up in Excel will chop off the data that doesn't fit within Excels row limit.

Can't you do some export to a file using CSV for example? It should not be necessary to copy&paste. Export and import should work.

Which Excel do you use? MS Excel 2007 has limit to 1,048,576 rows. Previous versions - 65k limit. Try text file.

Are you serious? Excel has a *row limit*?

Unfortunately it has. We had this problem in my company. We used CSV instead.

@voyager: that's sad. But as Zoidberg commented above: why does anybody want to have that many rows in an excel sheet in the first place?
 2009-09-18 16:38:11
Is it possible to use more than one sheet to work around this?
Robert L  2009-09-18 16:50:30
Sure. You can select first 65k rows (or 1,048,576) and then put the rest of data into others sheets. But the question "Why?" remains.

Thanks for all of yours help. I use CSV.

Then you should accept one of the answers here. Click the large check mark next to it. You need to boost your accept rate up, so this will help. If you have a low accept rate, people may not answer your question as much. It also adds to the information database by saying which question the asker used and was successful with.

just remeber with the csv, they still won't be able to see all the rows in Excel if they iopen it up in Excel.
