Excel export

Open thibaultmol opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Google Sheets often throws a timeout when importing massive csv files, but massive excel files are fine. So if I could convert to excel, that'd be great!

I'm not sure that would fix your problem. It's likely because Excel files have more metadata in them, and so Sheets only appears to be more generous with them. The limit is likely on the amount of actual data Sheets is willing to ingest. You can test this out yourself by converting a CSV file that Sheets chokes on to Excel yourself and see if it works - I bet it won't.

The text I was trying to convert was actually too large anyway for the tool to handle it seems. No download happens when I try to export the csv. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-3LOduXsGwRAo--R8l-s2QY4YcSSxOqN
