Godspeed if you ever find yourself using it in a way that makes you aware of those limits.

Fun facts, originally when launched by both Steve Jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft back in 1985 at Tavern on the Green, New York, Excel has 16,384 rows and 256 columns, where&#x27;s the original Excel&#x27;s rows now exactly matched the Excel&#x27;s current column.

Ie.: max 2^20 rows, 2^14 columns.

Thought it was going to be interesting; turns out it’s just an ad.

&gt; Additionally, the row limit is 2^20 which is the max number of rows that can be represented in a 32 bit system.<p>I don&#x27;t get it. Why is it the maximum?<p>Also, why 32 bit systems are still a concern?
