How many worksheets

C

CTN

How many worksheets can you have in one workbook. Right now we're doing a
file for all weeks of the year and we've got 30 in it, but it won't allow us
to insert any more. Any way around this?

Excel help files state that you can insert as many sheets as your RAM can
handle.

Perhaps you can use named ranges instead of separating in sheets

The number of worksheets is limited by the available resources.

How big is your file (megabytes)?

Hi CTN-

Textbook answer is 255 sheets. If you cannot insert more than 30 it may very
well be the result of insufficient RAM. Which version of Excel, Windows and
what happens when you try to insert more?

255 is the number of sheets in a new workbook. You can add more after that
but the number is limited by available resources.

The only ime I've actually seen it in a real life file, it died while adding
the 2005th worksheet. So I guess the number is 2004. At least sometimes.

Best wishes Harald
