Maximum Size of Excel file?

Is there a maximum size that gHowl cannot convert from excel?

My excel file (an xlsx) is 112x274 and gHowl will crash grasshopper/rhino every time. I have waited for more than 15 hours just in case it was working but still nothing. 

The file has had all of its formatting removed and any symbols have been replaced with numbers. The file only has numbers and strings in it so I know its not that.

Also, this is only a test file... the real file is 112x1996. Any help would be appreciated.

I had similar problems with a 6x20,000 XLSX, which was only a test for a 6x90,000 file.  :)

Not ideal, but I ended up converting to CSV and using GH's native "Read File" component.  It is very fast, even on large files.

I agree with Marc, try as CSV.  I will look into what is causing it to choke.

Best,

Luis

Hi Marc,

could you give us the example file that you used it? I´ve never used this components and my archive is big too. Thanks!!
