Issue Exporting Data with More Than 50 Columns Using "Export Data Store Entity to Excel" Plugin

Certified Senior Developer

Hi Everyone

I'm currently facing an issue while exporting data from a specific table that contains more than 50 columns. I'm using the Export Data Store Entity to Excel plugin, but it throws an error during the export process.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a workaround to export data with more than 50 columns successfully? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

  • As Mike suggested, there is a smart service limit of 50 columns.

    I often encounter requirements where I need to export more than 50 columns. To handle this, I create multiple sheets, each containing a set of 50 columns.

    Here I initialize first column of each sheet with the same unique identifier, which makes it easy to put VLOOKUP later to work in downloaded excel.

    For example:

    • Columns 1–50 go into Sheet 1
    • Columns 51–100 go into Sheet 2
      ...and so on.

    I pass the same document for update across all sheets.
    Hope this helps!
