Hi Nick,
I think I should make myself more clear that I was not particulary addressing
the Excel size limitation issue.
Suppose for example, there are 200 records (50 observations+150 dose records)
in a NONMEM data file and if we do 500 simulations, it creates a large output
file which cannot be opened in Excel 2003.
However, I thought if we could specify a priori in NONMEM control stream
(Which you say is not possible) to filter out the dosing records leaving 50 X
500 observation records which can be opened in excel.
This issue is not hampering my analysis as I can postprocess the table
output. Rather, it was just a curiosity to know if it was possible in NONMEM
control stream a priori.
Sorry for creating any confusion :-)
Regards
Nitin

OK. So you know how to do the filtering of NONMEM table output.

There is indeed a limitation in using Excel. But whether the filtering to
select observation records is done in NONMEM (which as far as I know it cannot
do) or done by a subsequent filtering step (which you say you know how to do)
it will not change the Excel size limitation. So once again I dont understand
why you want NONMEM to try to do this :-)
