How many rows does a single worksheet contain in MS Excel 2007 and later versions?
- A.65,536
- B.16,384
- C.1,048,576
- D.2,097,152
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, 1,048,576. From Excel 2007 the grid of one worksheet was enlarged to 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, so the very last cell of the sheet is XFD1048576. The figure is a power of two, two raised to the twentieth, which is why it looks so odd at first sight and is easy to recall once noticed.
Option A, 65,536, is the number of rows in Excel 2003 and earlier, and it is the answer only when the question names one of those old versions. Option B, 16,384, is the number of columns in Excel 2007 and later, not the number of rows, and swapping the two is the commonest mistake in this question. Option D, 2,097,152, is simply double the correct figure and has no place in Excel at all. Fix the pair in memory as rows just over ten lakh and columns just over sixteen thousand.
