--- Comment #6 from Gerry <[email protected]> ---
@Phil: Thanks for the nice suggestion. However, spreadsheets, databases and
statistical software like R, Stata, ... have very different goals. Having said
this, there is a clear need and usage for spreadsheets handling more than 1024
columns. People use it and I use it, too. 

Given the dynamic idea of cells in spreadsheets (dependencies on other cells,
formulas in cells, fill-out features), they are very good at data processing
and data generation. These are features which are not as good to handle in
statistical software. Data analyis is, of course.

Independently from this, when receiving .xlsx files with more than 1024
columns, LibreOffice cannot be used. Gnumeric can serve as an alternative then.
