Row Limit in Excel

Although we have a sufficient number of rows, count in excel to handle ample data, but still, we have some limitation of the number of rows in excel, which is limited to 1048576 rows in Excel 2019 Office 365. Every workbook has limited memory allowed so that Excel can function properly without any crash. If we still have data that exceeds the 1048576-row count, then we can insert multiple sheets.

Hide Rows Which You Don’t Want to Show

If you are old to excel in hiding and unhiding, this is not strange for you. A similar technique we can apply here as well. It is very rare we use more than 1 lakh rows of data set. I often don’t want to show unnecessary rows to the users. We can hide both rows and columns in excel. Follow the below steps to learn this technique.

You can download this Row Limit Excel Template here – Row Limit Excel Template

Step 1: Select the one row below where you want to display the number of rows. For example, if I want to display 1 lakh rows, I will select the row after 1 lakh row. Reaching after the row of 1 lakh is not that easy. Scrolling till the 1 lakh row is not that easy. Place a cursor on the Name Box.

Now type A100001in the Name Box and Hit Enter; it will take you to the row after 1 lakh row.

Select this entire row by pressing the shortcut key Shift Space.

Step 2: Now hold the Keys Shift & Ctrl > Press down Arrow; it will take you till the end of the last row.

Step 3: Right-click on the column header and select the hide option.

Pro Tip: We can also press Ctrl + 9, which is the shortcut key to hide selected rows.

Step 4: It will hide all the selected rows and display only 1 lakh rows.

Limit the Scrolling Area

In a general spreadsheet, the user can move around anywhere in the worksheet. However, sometimes we need to restrict the access of the user to specific areas.

We can do this by using the VBA coding technique

Step 1: Open the Workbook you want to restrict.

Step 2: Press ALT + F11, which is the shortcut key to open the VBA editor. It will show the VBA Editor window.

Step 3: Right-click on the worksheet where you want to restrict the user access. In my case, I am selecting Sheet 1. Right-click and select View Code; it will enable the VBA code space.

View Code step 5

Step 4: Select Sheet1 and press F4, which will open the Sheet Properties window.

Step 5: Find the ScrollArea in this toolbox.

ScrollArea step 7

Type the area (range) in the worksheet you want to give them access to. I have mentioned A1 to G20 in the below image.

Step 6: Close the VBA Editor window and Save the workbook. Now the user cannot move beyond the selected cells. We have limited the access of rows to the users.

Now test your worksheet. You cannot place your cursor other than the yellow colored area.

Things to remember about Row Limit in Excel

  • The shortcut key to hide rows is Ctrl + 9. Use horizontal number keypad.
  • We can specify any type of range in the scroll area to limit access.
  • Once the rows are hidden, we can unhide at any point in time.
  • In the latest version of excel, a maximum of 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns are available.
