what is a limit of rows while exporting data using data management?

Hi Techies,

I am investigating an issue while exporting data using one of the custom entities developed. If I use export in excel then export is failing after 1.3 million of records saying "Spreadsheet is full" whereas data is exporting fine using CSV.

Error details -

Package execution failed details:: definitionGroup: Test, errorCode: DMF043, errorDescription: <?xml version="1.0"?><Errors><Error><ErrorCode>-1071636471</ErrorCode><SubComponent>ExcelFileExport [86]</SubComponent><Description>SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. </Description></Error><Error><ErrorCode>-1071636284</ErrorCode><SubComponent>Oledb Export [1]</SubComponent><Description>The attempt to add a row to the Data Flow task buffer failed with error code 0xC0047020. </Description></Error><Error><ErrorCode>-1073450952</ErrorCode><SubComponent>SSIS.Pipeline</SubComponent><Description>SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on Oledb Export returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. </Description></Error></Errors>

What can be the possible solution if we need data in excel only. Or am I using some odd excel version. Does anyone faced this before?

Any response is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sangram

    Hello Sangram,

    I do not think that there is a solution to this issue because Excel has only 1048576 lines. If you try to export more to a single excel sheet, I would expect the export to fail.

    Why is it that you need to export that large number of data to excel?

    If you need to analyze your data, why don't you use a different tool, such as a cube or PowerBI?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Sangram,

    It is, like Ludwig metioned, a limitation of Excel. See also: support.office.microsoft.com/.../excel-specifications-and-limits-ca36e2dc-1f09-4620-b726-67c00b05040f

    Other files might have an issue with the file storage size.

    Eventually, you can split the export in multiple Excel sheets, but then you have to specify the purpose for the export in an Excel sheet.
