RapidStart Import from Excel limitation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BorisK 132

I am importing from Excel in a RapidStart profile, the source Excel sheet contains 9 columns and 75K rows, but the import simply stops after importing 9554 records. No errors, just stops.
Max upload size on the NAV server, if it matters, set to 30Mb. The file is only 3Mb.
Is there any other setup somewhere that does it?

    Check in excel file is there any speacial or junk characters after the row 9554

    Or

    Try to import the records in multiple parts

    The file looks absolutely fine around row 9554, I tried to cut into two and import each of the halves, and still only imports 9554 records. Stumped.

    Hi Hasitha

    It's a bespoke table - and Microsoft support gave me the answer.

    Apparently it has to do with the old Excel limitation of 65536 rows per sheet.

    The XML engine doing the import and export in NAV2013 is somehow still affected by it, so only up to 65536 records can be imported or exported.

    Oddly if the number of records in the file exceeds 65536 NAV only processes the difference between the number of records and 65536. So if the file contain 65537 records it will only import 1 and then just stop!

    In my example the file contained 75090 records, so 75090 - 65536 = 9554 were imported.

    Weird.
