Hey! That's a rather weird way of kindly asking others to solve a problem you're having for you. (In reply to David Halliday from comment #0) > Is that intentional? There probably wasn't much demand for it, plus these tend to be non-trivial amount of work, eg. here's the commit from 10 years ago that increased the limit to 1 million rows: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b3579d71c6536ab1d03cc47249d582a574fd054a (it's actually not that bad compared to the much more complex case of increasing the column limit to 16k that is being worked on) > Just like Excel, LibreOffice Calc cannot deal with Table of over 2^20 Rows! > > Why do we still have such limits, in this age of (supposedly) 64 bit > Software? I don't know, what did Microsoft say? Jokes aside, I'd say mostly memory, maybe the average amount of memory in computers increased 4- to 8-fold in ten years, which isn't a lot compared to the increase in addressable space you're comparing to. I'll leave the actual assessment of the feature request to a Calc expert. |
