David,

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the 65k limit is a concern. However, I was wondering whether one could bypass, perhaps, this limitation by entering part of the data into a database and working from there. Just a thought.

Everyone needs to be aware that if you have more than 65,535 rows in your xlsx document, you will not be able to access them in anything. You will be able to view them in Excel 2003 viewer, but it will not let you copy and paste any rows after 65,535, no matter what you try.

@Svante:
We aim to please! Of course, when you open the xlsx file in OpenOffice, don’t forget to save it as ods (the OpenOffice extension) or, at least, xls (the “old” Microsoft version) for the unfortunate souls who have not yet switched.
