Interesting (or not) fact

Space # XFD1048576 is the last possible space in a spreadsheet on Excel 2007 :D

Yea, work was slow today.....

almost certainly no coincedence but.... 1048576 is also the number of bytes in a megabyte (1024x1024). 16384 is also 16x1024... (Column XFD is the 16384th by the way lol)

Interesting. On my copy of Excel 2003, the last possible space is IV65536. Yep. I'm bored too....

256th letter and 64x1024 heh - not really surprising that they'd be "computer numbers"

Excel 2010 goes down to XFD1048576 too - I guess MS decided 17,179,869,184 was enough cells :p

The jump from 16,777,216 in 2003 to 17,179,869,184 was also a x1024... just think, if they'd done it again, we'd be looking at 17,592,186,044,416 and thats a LOT of cells to try to fill heh

Sad thing... it must be that size because someone ran out of space in an older version :P
