Hi,
Does anyone know limit on number of excel sheets in Excel 2003. We are using WF 76.

Thanks
Sachin

If I recall, it is in the realm of 64,000 to 65,000 rows. Just did a quick test printing a 32 character name and an 8 character id, got the message too many rows or columns, showed 65,536 rows, two colums.

Microsoft has a pretty document that they published highlighting their specific limits.

If the link doesn't work search for "Excel specifications and limits"

The number of worksheets is limited by the amount of memory.

I've built a compound excel document with 100 worksheets.

That's great that you were able to create an Excel document with 100 sheets but what in the world would anyone do with so many worksheets?

Just curious.

I have just finished this report. It is for the OKDHS (OK Dept of Human Services) Director. It has a State Summary, 6 Area Summaries, and 93 county summaries. Oklahoma only has 77 counties, but the large counties (Oklahoma, Tulsa and Cleveland) have been broken out into offices where each office is treated as a separate county. Of course they want each of the office/counties combined back into a physical county. For example, Cleveland has Cleveland A, B and C and Cleveland All with A, B and C combined back together. Each summary is a separate worksheet. It currently shows the last 10 years. It will automatically add a new year at the start if the state fiscal year. I also wrote a macro to add some formatting I could not get WF to do and to hide all the colums except the 5 most recent years.

For the last 10 years, this report has been built and maintained by hand. It took them (3 users) over a month to update this once a year. There were numerous errors in typing data from other reports into the worksheets and there were numerous errors in formulas. With the introduction of Compound doucments and us finally getting to Office 2003, I was able to do this in WebFOCUS. Now it gets updated weekly. The user thinks I can walk on water.

Now that's an awesome story about saving a lot of time and money.

Our users think I work every night to send them reports and even on Saturday.....
I always think "keep on dreaming" .

But in this case I would suggest the endusers "OKDHS" to use the webfocus dashboard and give them a simple start up report, with several drill downs.

I suppose now they print the 100 pages and copy all data to their own spreadsheets to play with it and make al kind of graphs.
