Maximum limits of memory storage and file size for Data Model workbooks |
32-bit environment is subject to 2 gigabytes (GB) of virtual address space, shared by Excel, the workbook, and add-ins that run in the same process. A data model’s share of the address space might run up to 500 – 700 megabytes (MB), but could be less if other data models and add-ins are loaded. 64-bit environment imposes no hard limits on file size. Workbook size is limited only by available memory and system resources. Beginning with Excel 2016, Large Address Aware functionality lets 32-bit Excel consume twice the memory when users work on a 64-bit Windows operating system. For more information, see Large Address Aware capability change for Excel. Note: Adding tables to the Data Model increases the file size. If you don’t plan to create complex Data Model relationships using many data sources and data types in your workbook, uncheck the Add this data to the Data Model box when you import or create tables, pivot tables, or data connections. For more information, see Data Model specification and limits. |

- Limit User Action to Specific Number of Rows in Excel
For example, look at the below worksheet preview.
The active cell is the A1 cell. To go to the last row of this column, we need to press the shortcut key “Ctrl + Down Arrow.” It will take us to the last row in the selected cell column.
But one thing we need to know about this shortcut is it will take us to the last used cell without a cell break.
For example, look at the below data preview.
We have some data in the first 6 rows of column 1, and the active cell is the A1 cell. If we press “Ctrl + Down Arrow, “it will take you to the last used cell, not to the last row of the worksheet.
This shortcut key will go to the last used cell without cell breaks. For example, look at the below data preview.
After the first 6 rows, we have a line break of one row, and after that cell break, we have data in another 6 rows. So first, we will press the shortcut key “Ctrl + Down Arrow.” It will take me to the last used row before the cell break, the 6th row.
Again, we will press the shortcut key “Ctrl + Down Arrow” and see where it will go.
Upon pressing the shortcut key one more time, it has jumped to the next used cell, not to the end of the last used cell. So now, we must press the “Ctrl + Down Arrow” key. It will take us to another last used row, the 13th row.
Now, if we press the “Ctrl + Down Arrow,” it will take us to the last row of the worksheet. Like this, going to the maximum number of rows with Excel works.
Limit User Action to Specific Number of Rows in Excel
Often, we do not want users to use all the rows. Rather, we want them to work with a specific range of cells or rows. We can do this by using multiple methods. Below are the ways to restrict user action to particular rows.
Using Hide Method
For example, if we want to allow a user to work with the first ten rows of the data, we can hide the remaining rows except for the first 10 rows.
- To hide from the 11th row onwards, we must select all the rows till the 10,48,576 rows.
- Now right-click on the row headerExcel Row Header is the grey column on the left side of column 1 in the worksheet that contains the numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). To hide or reveal row and column headers, press ALT + W + V + H.read more and choose the option of “Hide.”
- It will hide all the selected rows, and the user can see only 10 rows.
We can use shortcut keys to hide«Ctrl + 9» and «Ctrl + 0» are the keyboard shortcuts for hiding excel rows and columns, respectively. To use this method, pick any cell in a row or column, then press 0 or 9 while holding down the ctrl key.read more rows if we do not want to follow the manual right-clicking and hiding method.
After selecting several rows to be hidden, press the shortcut key “Ctrl + 9” (Number 9 should be from the keyboard number, not from the number pad of the keyboard). It will simply hide the rows.
Like this, we can limit the action of users with specific worksheets.
Things to Remember
- Excel 2003 version has only 65,536 rows only.
- From the Excel 2007 version onwards, we have more than 1 million rows.
- If we use all the rows, then the computer should be equipped with a well-versed processor, and RAM capacity should be not less than 8 GB.

The theoretical limit of rows and columns in the Microsoft Office application, Excel is well defined. If you exceed this mark, you are prompted with a ‘File not loaded completely’ popup message. It bears the following description:
- The file contains more than 1,048,576 rows or 16,384 columns. To fix this problem, open the source file in a text editor such as Microsoft Office Word. Save the source file as several smaller files that conform to this row and column limit, and then open the smaller files in Microsoft Office Excel. If the source data cannot be opened in a text editor, try importing the data into Microsoft Office Access, and then exporting subsets of the data from Access to Excel.
- The area that you are trying to paste the tab-delineated data into is too small. To fix this problem, select an area in the worksheet large enough to accommodate every delimited item.
So, what’s the maximum number of rows and columns supported in an Excel worksheet? Let’s find out!
Excel supports three Worksheets in a Workbook file, and each Worksheet can support up to 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns of data. Workbooks, however, can have more than 3 Worksheets if the computer supports enough memory for the additional data.
A handful of Office users seem to believe that 64-bit Excel can support more rows or columns than the 32-bit version. Is it true? While it might seem possible theoretically or remotely, it’s certainly not true as the number of rows/columns is limited by the version of the product and not by a number of ‘BITS’ it supports.
Moreover, having larger worksheet sizes exclusively for 64-bit Excel would cause some sorts of unknown compatibility issues. Microsoft strongly desires to keep its Worksheet accessible to all copies of Excel and version, regardless of whether it is 32-bit and 64-bit. Only when data is inserted into a Worksheet, other factors like how much memory the computer has, play a role in defining the rows, columns, cells limits.
Having said that, there’s one way via which you can find the number of rows and columns in Excel Worksheet and answer the question yourself. Here’s how!
- For determining the maximum number of rows, place the cursor in an empty column and press Ctrl + Down Arrow. The action will take you to the last row.
- Similarly, to find the maximum number of columns, place the cursor in an empty row and press Ctrl + Right Arrow. This will take you to the last column.
