Re: [NMusers] Model Comparison and Viewing of Output

Hi Nick,
   
  I think I should make myself more clear that I was not particulary addressing the Excel size limitation issue.
   
  Suppose for example, there are 200 records (50 observations+150 dose records) in a NONMEM data file and if we do 500 simulations, it creates a large output file which cannot be opened in Excel 2003.
   
  However, I thought if we could specify a priori in NONMEM control stream (Which you say is not possible) to filter out the dosing records leaving 50 X 500 observation records which can be opened in excel.
   
  This issue is not hampering my analysis as I can postprocess the table output. Rather, it was just a curiosity to know if it was possible in NONMEM control stream a priori.
   
  Sorry for creating any confusion :-)
   
  Regards

OK. So you know how to do the filtering of NONMEM table output.

There is indeed a limitation in using Excel. But whether the filtering to select observation records is done in NONMEM (which as far as I know it cannot do) or done by a subsequent filtering step (which you say you know how to do) it will not change the Excel size limitation. So once again I dont understand why you want NONMEM to try to do this :-)
