Is it practical to have a spreadsheet with more than say a
million cells (on a fast computer with 256 mb of ram)? I have
30000 rows by 40 columns of data that I want to do a couple
of calculations for on each row and then sort the rows. Is
one of calc, gnumeric, excel more efficient at this?
(I probably will be linched for that, but here it goes)
In my experience Excel generally is faster, except maybe in certain
cases.
But you should try all 3 spreadrsheet apps.
The only issue I see with Large spreadsheets is the time to save and
open. This is better than in older releases. I have worked with data
files that will actually go over the limits of Calc. The actual
processing was not any different between Excel. It is just saving and
opening due to the conversion from XML to the binary image used.
