    Convert Large CS file to many sheetss in one XLS

    Hi

    Any one know of any tool that'll convert one large CSV file to 1 XLS file spread across many sheets - each sheet having, say 60,000 rows - since Excel 2003;s limit is 65535 rows per sheeet.

    Thanks

    Best solution, buy Excel 2007.
    Second best solution divide your .csv files into separate files.
    Best regards,

    Even Excel 2007 is limited to 1 million rows.
    I sometime get CSVs having more than a million rows.
    I thought there would be some external-tool to convert this ?
    Second best solution divide your .csv files into separate files.
    Looking for automated tasks - will take way to much time to do manually.

    I would suggest that even if it is possible it can not be the best way to use the data. This is what databases were designed for, why microsoft has access, in a spreadsheet it would be very slow to do anything and this would be after much fiddling to get the data into excel in the first place. Each save would take an inorrdinate amount of time. If the file did need splitting the simplest way would be in any database picking the records from the csv file to export to create the seperate csv file.

    Regards

    In access you just open a new database, save it to some name, the get external data and import, choose text as the type of data and then go through the wizard, it is comma delimitted and you may or may not have the variable names in the first line of the file. Try it, if it does not work you have not lost any data!

    Any joy?

    Regards
