I'd wager that you'd run into a timeout trying to export that volume of data. Even without technical obstacles, your users probably won't be terribly happy waiting minutes for their excel export to complete. I'd suggest a batch process that runs overnight instead.

It might also be worth noting that Excel itself has a hard limit of approximately 1 million rows: support.office.com/.../Excel-specifications-and-limits-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3

I'd be curious to know what the use case is for having so many rows, especially in a single spreadsheet.

Even i had such a requirement of exporting 2lakh records in to an excel. But the appian fails in doing so. So i had to export in batches of 8,000 per sheet. Then the user collated the data manually from multiple exported sheets.
