Any time I've encountered a data set large enough the Excel dies trying to graph it, that data set is long past the point where it should have been shoved into a proper database server and graphed using purpose built tools. Not saying Excel is bad, but people (ab)use it (and Access) that it just can't handle. I have users that run into the row limit more often than the memory limit though.Excel falls flat on it's face with really large data sets. 64-bit Excel is better, but still fails hard when trying to graph really large data sets.
What is needed in that case is NI Diadem which is super excellent with huge amounts of data.
LibreOffice is a joke IMO.
FreeOffice is another alternative to MS Office. I haven't used it that much, but it seems better than Libre at least.
