Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
What error message are you receiving as your signature says you are using Excel 2010 which has over 1 million rows?

ziad alsayed,

Can we see the open offciefile that has about 128000 rows?

You can upload your workbook/file to Box Net,
sensitive data scrubbed/removed/changed
mark the workbook for sharing
and provide us with a link to your workbook.

I take it that Openoffice still only supports xls and not xlsx extension . If that is the case then the options are limited. If you don`t have a formulas then saving to csv then opening in Excel might be an option

ziad alsayed,

I am having trouble with the file.

Could you open/import the openoffice file into excel and save the workbook. And, then post the workbook on Box?

Just bumping as the previous post didn't register as a post.
Converted the created CSV to a xlsx in the link in the post
