------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 6 09:09:15 +0000 2007 ------- The large data sets I work with are manipulated with PERL scripts and stored in a database or large flat files. Reviews of large subsets are facilitated using a spreadsheet, and often this requires more than 256 columns. This allows easy perusal and provides facilities for further analyses and visualization (graphs) that would otherwise require sophisticated custom script solutions. We recently purchased WordPerfect Office X3 to get Quattro Pro because all other spreadsheets we then had access to (Excel, OOo, Gnumeric (without recompile)) had stuck with the archaic 256-column limit. I could deal with extracting smaller subsets, transforming rows/columns, etc., but why should it be that hard? Users often employ spreadsheets as formatting tools, and reviewing a large layout of rows & columns shouldn't be such a technical challenge today. As mentioned, with the Excel 2007 boost to near Quattro Pro limits, everyone else will now need to follow. Who will take the lead from Quattro Pro? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
