Excel v12: just plain massive

September 30, 2005

Is it naive of me to sugggest that anyone who needs the upcoming 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns in Excel 12 really needs something other than a spreadsheet?

Back in the day Ricky and I made Excel do some stuff it was never meant to. Ricky even ended up refactoring all the VBA that we wrote to make it easier to maintain.

But 16,348 columns?
