Dear,

I have an excel file with tons of data, multiple sheets (~63MB in size). I
want to compile it into one sheet and make use of vlookup. But I encounter
the limit which one sheet cannot exceed 65536 lines...appreciate any
suggestions ^_^

If your lookup table has to be split onto two sheets, you can use
something like this:

=IF(ISNA(vlookup1),IF(ISNA(vlookup2),"not present",vlookup2),vlookup1)

where vlookup1 is looking at the first sheet - like VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!
A:B,2,0) - and vlookup2 is looking at the second sheet.

Hope this helps.

You can also enter your data in Access and use XL as front end to
analyze the data

Excel 2007 allows up to 1 million lines.

Personally, I like the Access front end approach suggested by another
poster.
