Show HN: Hadoop in Excel

No, it can't - the limit is just over one million rows. This doesn't involve pulling anywhere near that many rows into your spreadsheet.

We let people with Hadoop Clusters pull a small sample of data into Excel, analyze it with Excel formulas, and then run the analysis on the full data set. The last part happens outside of Excel.
