Only your computer's memory. I've had over a 1000 in one workbook but each
one had a small amount of data.

Ok I found an article in the knowledgebase but I don't understand how to do
the following. Can I have multiple WorkBooks inside of Excel?

PivotTable Wizard Step 1: Where Is the Data That You Want to Analyze?
When Excel creates the cache for a PivotTable, both the original data and
the cached data may be kept in memory, depending on the data source option
that you select. If your data source is large or if you are creating several
PivotTables from separate data sources, these multiple copies of data may
use up your computer's available memory, which will adversely affect the
performance of Excel. To save memory, you can use a closed original data
source or a single data source when you create multiple PivotTables.

The memory usage implications for each of the data source options in step 1
of the PivotTable Wizard are described in more detail in the following
sections.

Microsoft Excel List or Database, or Multiple Consolidation Ranges
When you select Microsoft Excel list or database or Multiple consolidation
ranges as your data source, if this data is in an open sheet, two copies of
the data are kept in memory when Excel creates the PivotTable. To conserve
memory, close the workbook that contains your original data, and create the
PivotTable in a separate workbook. This way, only the cached data is kept in
memory.

Here is the error I get
"The instruction at "0x77f57eb2" referenced memory at "0xfffffffd". The
memory could not be "read"
