Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi,

Okay, so this is blowing up while exporting the contents of the ValueLists into a hidden worksheet. That explains it. Your grid must have more than 256 different ValueLists in it.

This is a known bug and it will be fixed in the next service release. The exporter will create additional hidden worksheets when it needs them.

But you might want to think about reducing the number of ValueLists you are using. Why do you need so many? You should probably try to re-use the same one for multiple cells instead of assigning a new one to each cell (which is what I assume you must be doing to have created so many).

Another potential workaround is to set ExportValueLists to false on the exporter.

Thank for your reply

Hi,

Excel 2003 and earlier has a limit of 256 columns in a worksheet. So something about your export must be exceeding that limitation. You say you have only 42 columns in your grid, so it must be something else.

Can you post the call stack of the exception so I can see what's happening when it occurs? It could be that your layout is causing those 42 grid column to be exported as more than 42 columns in Excel due to indention, hierarchical data, or using a RowLayout.

Or, it's possible that formulas or ValueList are causing the exporter to use a hidden worksheet which is exceeding the limit.

Also not that Excel2007 and up doesn't have the same limitation. So exporting to the newer format might be an option.
