How can I see how much RAM is available for Excel ?
I am using Excel 2010 Windows (32-bit) NT 6.02 Release:14.0
I know my laptop has 4GB of RAM, but I have been told Excel 32 bit will only be able to use 2GB of this.
Answer
Excel 2010, 2013 and 2016 are available in 2 versions: 32-bit (2
Gigabytes of virtual memory)
Out of Memory, Memory Limits, Memory Leaks, Excel will not start.

Task Manager will indicate how much memory Excel is using.
On the other hand, the 32-bit edition of Office is limited to 2 GB of
virtual address space, and this space is shared by Excel, the
workbook, and add-ins that run in the same process. (Worksheets
smaller than 2 GB on disk might still contain enough data to occupy 2
GB or more of addressable memory.)
Additionally,
The 2-GB limitation is per windows process instance of Excel. You can
run multiple files in one instance. However, if the files are really
large and have to be open, consider opening multiple instances for the
other files. For information about limits that you may encounter, go
to the following website:

Additionally,
32-bit versions of Microsoft Excel 2013 and Excel 2016 can take
advantage of Large Address Aware (LAA) functionality after
installation of the latest updates. (see the "Resolution" section)
This change lets 32-bit installations of Excel 2016 consume double the
memory when users work on a 64-bit Windows OS. The system provides
this capability by increasing the user mode virtual memory from 2
gigabytes (GB) to 4 GB. This change provides 50 percent more memory
(for example, from 2 GB to 3 GB) when users work on a 32-bit system.
Additionally,
If you're running 64-bit Windows, this change is applied
automatically. No action by you is required. The available memory for
the Excel process is automatically doubled from 2 GB to 4 GB. This
improves support for actions that use lots of memory.
