Hi Experts,

In my machine i have installed Excel 2013. and am trying to export excel from my Nav(2009 R2) to excel am getting an error attached below....

---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic

This message is for C/AL programmers: This data type is not supported by C/SIDE. You can access data from any of the following data types: VT_VOID, VT_I2, VT_I4, VT_R4, VT_R8, VT_CY, VT_DATE, VT_BSTR and VT_BOOL

Am using this automation variable 

Name DataType Subtype Length
XlApp Automation 'Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library'.Application

    My guess is that you're trying to work with excel with a datatype that is not supported.

    For more information on what datatype is supported and the mapping between nav and the external application (excel) check the following link:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd301064.aspx

    With that try to remove data (fields) from being exported. It might be that one of the fields can't be exported in their current/native format.
