• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVCMIS_A_10_MESSAGE060 - Data selection exceeded Excel storage limit. Please select fewer records. ?

  The SAP error message CNVCMIS_A_10_MESSAGE060 indicates that the data selection you are trying to export to Excel exceeds the storage limit that Excel can handle. This typically occurs when you are attempting to export a large dataset from SAP to an Excel file, and the number of records exceeds Excel's maximum row limit.
  Cause:
  
  Excel Row Limit: Excel has a maximum row limit of 1,048,576 rows. If your data selection exceeds this number, you will encounter this error.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being selected in your SAP query or report is too large for Excel to handle in a single export.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Data Selection:
  
  Filter Records: Apply filters to your data selection to reduce the number of records being exported. This can be done by specifying date ranges, limiting the selection criteria, or selecting specific subsets of data.
  Use Pagination: If possible, break down the data into smaller chunks and export them in multiple files. For example, you can export data for different time periods or categories separately.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Formats:
  
  If you need to work with large datasets, consider exporting the data in a different format that can handle larger volumes, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or TXT (Text) files. These formats do not have the same row limitations as Excel.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Settings:
  
  Review the settings in your SAP system to see if there are any limitations or configurations that can be adjusted to allow for larger exports.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Analysis Tools:
  
  Consider using SAP tools designed for data analysis, such as SAP Analysis for Office, which may provide better handling of large datasets.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Excel Limitations: Familiarize yourself with Excel's limitations regarding rows and columns to better plan your data exports.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on exporting data and handling large datasets.
  Performance Considerations: When working with large datasets, consider the performance implications on both SAP and Excel, as large exports can lead to slow performance or crashes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully export your data from SAP to Excel or another format.
