• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVCMIS_A_10_MESSAGE061 - Data exceeded Excel storage limit. Please select records and proceed. ?

  The SAP error message CNVCMIS_A_10_MESSAGE061 indicates that the data 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 amount of data exceeds Excel's row or column limits.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the dataset you are trying to export contains more rows or columns than Excel can accommodate. For example, Excel has a limit of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns in a single worksheet.
  Data Format: Sometimes, the format of the data being exported may also contribute to the issue, especially if there are many columns with lengthy text or complex data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Data Volume: 
  
  Filter Data: Before exporting, apply filters to reduce the number of records. You can select specific criteria to limit the dataset to only the necessary records.
  Export in Batches: If the dataset is too large, consider exporting it in smaller batches. For example, you can export data for specific time periods or categories separately.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Formats: 
  
  If you need to export a large dataset, consider exporting it in a different format that can handle larger volumes of data, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or TXT (Text) files. These formats do not have the same limitations as Excel.
  
  
  
  Check Excel Version: Ensure that you are using a version of Excel that supports larger datasets. Newer versions of Excel (Excel 2016 and later) have the same row and column limits, but they may handle large files more efficiently.
  
  
  Data Aggregation: If applicable, aggregate the data before exporting. For example, summarize or group the data to reduce the number of rows.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Excel Limits: Familiarize yourself with Excel's limits on rows and columns to avoid this issue in the future.
  SAP Transaction Codes: Depending on the SAP module you are using, different transaction codes may have different export capabilities. Check the documentation for the specific transaction you are using.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any updates or patches that may address issues related to data export.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully export your data from SAP to Excel or another format.
