Excel 2007 above version Each worksheet has max row of 10 lacs 48 thousand and maximum column is Sixteen thousand and three hundred and eighty four only. If you want to store more data you need to create new worksheet. If data is very huge better to use access database and through macro get the required data into excel sheet.

if your data is in millions then you not like to store data in excel because excel will collapse or work on calculations very slowly. In these scenarios we like to connect excel with database like ms access or sql server because they can store good amount of data very easily. MS Access has a 2 GB limit and sql server is way beyond. you can get your required data imported into excel using vba and can furthe do lot of analysis using excel tools and functions. If your data is in thousands then you can store the data in excel itself and use all its powerful functions and features to refine the data ,to make it structured. Pivots, Charts and function like index,match,vlookup,countif,sumif are very common functions and very powerful if you know how to combine them together. visit my website www.excelvbalover.com and you will see 180 plus videos on excel,vba and access.
