Hi,

I am generating a log stored in .csv format and which has much more than 65,536 rows that an excel sheet permits.

Is there some way I can view all the rows in excel ?? maybe, split the file into number of worksheets ??

thnx for suggestions
 
You could try opening it in Access and then moving less than 65k at a time to Excel.
Other than tht don't know, that's what I ahd to do last time so if someone does know it'd be handy

Google
Code:
unxutils head tail
and use head.exe or tail.exe to split your file into <65K lines and then have at it in Excel.

I'd use Access or a data oriented application that doesn't have such a low limit personally, or maybe write the log file with most recent entries at the top so you wouldn't normally have to worry about the bottom.
