Error: "ran out of resources" running 5,000 row array
"agbiggs[ at ]hotmail.com" <agbiggs[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/31/2008 4:56:07 PM
I'm using an array formula to calculate the Gini coefficient of
columns of data. I'm getting the 'Excel ran out of resources' message
on any array more than 5,000 or so rows, which seems very low to me.
I'm using Excel 2007 and have 3 GB of RAM, so it's not clear where the
problem is.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? Either a way to free more
resources, or to calculate Gini coefficients without using an array
formula?

Thanks!

Only 2 of the GB are available for the User, the rest is for the system.
So you may have to reduce your data set.
