In this brief tutorial, I will walk you through four efficient approaches to tackle this issue, with two of them requiring no coding knowledge whatsoever! Learn how to utilize the power of Excel's Power Query, harness the capabilities of MS Access, automate the process using PowerShell, and explore the flexibility of Python. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, this video will equip you with the insights you need to split your large dataset into whatever size chunks you need.

Note: As of January 2024, Controlc.com the site where I hosted the code for this video abruptly removed all links that were generated without an account (which is why I initially used them) and set a new rule that "guest" links will expire after 72 hours. Unfortunately, the Python and PowerShell code I had for this video were among these. Please let me know if you'd like the code and I can regenerate it for you.
