And I should say...

Excel can get NOWHERE near 2GB "out of the box" before choking.
Kick excel, go to a CSV file, parse that shit up.

Excel has a 2GB limit, AFAIK. Wtf are you doing with 24GB of ram. lol, please tell me that you have at least a 64 bit system... lol.
I'm a gearslut, brother! SSD drives and 4GB sticks! That's my flagship. Not even on my network. Gets updates about a month behind my other machines.*

*I also need to run large A/V files in "my other life." Might as well exploit it.

Does excel just not open? Is it slow? If you can get it open, I would use the data filter functions... buttt if it wont even open... I would probably use a progmatic approach to read and parse the file.
It fakking chokes! Long before 2GB!

I'm wondering is there a way to look at all of my ticks...but just in a "properties" sort of way from within Excel? If I could have..."Name, Date, Time and Size" visible to view. Then select what I want (based around "Total Size"...within known Excel limits)...and then somehow "call" it forward...and then do what I want from there.

thank god for the fish. we got the power back.... i was gonna keep em in the safer place....

talking about fish

Two fathers and two sons went fishing one day. They were there the whole day and only caught 3 fish. One father said, that is enough for all of us, we will have one each. How can this be possible?

When I go in I might cause pain. I cause you to spit and ask you not to swallow. I can fill your hole. What am I?

Yes, but...I suppose I should break my question down like this...

1- Does anybody know of the memory limit of Excel?*
2- Workarounds?**

*Even MT4 has a 2GB limit...put there are patches out there to go beyond.

**All fakking ears...because what else is 24GB of RAM doing under my hood...

Thats a lotta pr0n!
the question is ..
what the F*** you are doing with 2Gb text file ??

encyclopedia Britannica ?

or trying to sort all Tweeter and facebook posts searching for some Long/short calls ??
