Trying to Export 85,000 rows into Excel from Qlikview

We are working with a customer that can't download into Excel over 85,000 rows of data without it locking their machine. We are using Qlikview 10 SR4 and the user coming through the IE with the Qlikview IE Plugin version 10. Has anyone had this issue? Any work arounds that worked? Should we buy a new BI tool..maybe Tableau would export the data better? Mr. Farmer help!

Re: Export to Excel issue

"

There's a setting that you can change to increase the limit before the data is exporting in csv format:RowLimitForCsvInsteadOfXls

On the server you can change the limit in the QVS settings.ini file

[Settings 7]

RowLimitForCsvInsteadOfXls=65500

In Qlikview Desktop you can change this with an 'easter egg' setting. In the Help menu select About Qlikview. Then right click on the Qlikview icon in the lower left corner. Find the entry RowLimitForCsvInsteadOfXls. You can then increase the value from 65500 to a higher number. Note, this may cause a performance penalty on your server.

Hi,

In my version (10 SR3) I can export an array in .xls up to 65,000 rows (normal limit for old Excel), if more it turns into a csv.

When I can I store in csv via script; it goes so fast...

Solution could be, storing in csv (or xlsx) via a macro. Something along these lines:

Sub ExportToCSV

Set ExportObject = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("(ObjectCode)")

ExportObject.Export "(FileAdress)\(FileName).csv", ";"

End Sub

Hope it helps.
