All-
I have a gigantic file that I need to do some data mining into. It's about
70,000 pages of flat data records (my best guess- haven't made it to the
bottom of the file yet...it's 332 meg- ) Word can barely handle it (takes
over 30 mins), wordpad & notepad can't hang at all. I can't cut & paste when
I open the file in word, so severing the file into easily manageable sections
isnt' an option.
I'm trying to import it in a linebyline record format.
I tried the posted macro for importing more than 65K records- it works well
but taps out at 1.04 million records. Unfortunately, i need to import all of
them, and probably will end up needing about 3x that many to be imported (yes
friends, over 3 million records.)
I can't tell whether the error is a system resource error or if it's some
limitation in excel.
Any suggestions?
