Vulnerability Management - Huge dataset

Vulnerability data is huge. I realized this yesterday when my VBA script gave this error ("You can't paste this here because the Copy area and paste area aren't the same size. Select just one cell in the paste area or an area that's the same size, and try pasting again.")

I was a bit shocked as till now the script worked fine and hadn't given any error.

So after googling and a bit of testing, I found out that the maximum rows a worksheet can have is 1048576. If you want to work with a dataset in MS Excel crossing this limit then you will need to switch to Excel's power query.

This is one of the usecase which tells why integration between vulnerability management solution and data analytics solution is needed.

Please note: There are other reasons as well because of which you can get this error.
