Exporting a large filtered list to Excel

I have a list that has approx 9600 items.  List view threshold is set to 5000.  The list view has a filter on it which in the browser is only displaying around 100 items. However, at the top of the list it displays "Displaying only the newest
results below. To view all results, narrow your query by adding a filter".   When i try to export the list to Excel, i get "You do not have permission to view the entire list because it is larger than the list view threshold enforced by
the administrator". 
My questions are:
1. Shouldn't this only be trying to export the 100 or so items being displayed in the filtered view? 
2. Why would it work in the browser but not export to Excel (since the same limit should apply both places, right)? 
3. Is there a way to get this to work (other than changing the list view threshold)?  I need to be able to export this small filtered list multiple times a day.
thanks to anyone with any info or help.

Hello,
The message you see in the browser indicates that the list is not filtered using an indexed column. You need to create an index on the column. If the filtered view then returns less than 5000 items, you won't see the message and the filtered view will also
export to Excel nicely. 
In order to create an index, you either need to temporarily lift the threshold, create the index (or indices) and the lower the threshold again. Or use the daily time window for large queries. For details see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dinaayoub/archive/2010/04/22/sharepoint-2010-how-to-change-the-list-view-threshold.aspx
Also, once the view has been exported to Excel, you can save the Excel file and only refresh the data connection. The saved query in the Excel file can then return over 50,000 items to Excel.  Here is a video course about large lists that is easy to
follow: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/introduction-RZ101874361.aspx?section=2 It contains a section about Excel
exports that is very useful.

  • How to Export SharePoint Workspace 2010 Lists to Excel

    We are using SharePoint WorkSpace as our primary inter-office business repository.  Note, we are NOT on a local version of the SharePoint 2010 server, but rather utilize the cloud service on a subscription basis.
    The problem we ran into is that there is NO option to grab items in a custom list and select Excel, CSV, XML, etc. as option for export. the ONLY option we have available is the SharePoint WorkSpace 2010 archive format (*.gax).  This looks like it is
    in some propietary binary format...
    I am fairly certain in 2007 and the old "Groove" there was an option to do this?  Am I missing something here?

    Try below:

  • Exporting SharePoint List to Excel it adds special / weird characters

    It's probably an escape code but they're not uniform.  When exporting a SharePoint List to Excel there is one column that is a multi-select lookup column and upon export between each item in that column there are a few special characters.  #68 and #70 in particular I see quite a lot of.  What are these escape codes and what would be a good way of filtering them out so they don't end up on the export?

    Hi Bouhatsu and Rob,
    I'm having the same thing with a filtered lookup. When exporting the list to Excel it adds the ID from the other list in front of the value I want (without me asking for it ...).
    Did one of you found a solution to get these ID's out of the export?

  • Exporting a List to Excel to use for Excel Services WebPart (not working)

    Hey everyone, here's the scenario. I'm trying to export a list to excel and save it to a library. All the connections are saved. Now. I want that excel file to render as a web part. When I make a change on the list and try to refresh the data connection
    I get the error below. Please help

    Hi,
    I did a test as the followings:
    Create a list, and add some items into it.
    Export the list into a Excel file, then upload the excel file to a library.
    When I opened the file via Excel service, I saw the a yellow warning about unsupported features.
    Then I created a wiki page, and add Excel Web Access web part and connect the web part to the excel file.
    When I refresh all data conections, nothing happened.
    From the article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823.aspx (they are similar with SharePoint 2013)
    SharePoint lists are not supported for Excel service. So, it may cause this issue.
    I suggest you click "Open in Excel" to open the file in Excel application, then refresh the data connection, and save back to SharePoint. Then after you refresh the page, the data of the Excel Web Access web part will refresh.
    Thanks,

  • Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

    Hi everyone,
    Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
    When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
    In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text,  the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
    Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
    Thanks
    Wim

    create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
    updating that field with the new comments  (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
    Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

    Nihath

    Hello Nihath,
    As per your description, you have to read each and every items in list with column value then only you can generate excel. There is direct way to export datatable to excel but in your case you will also need to iterate Col3 value to create new row in excel.
    I would suggest to use CAML query to get all items then check Col3 value. If there are multiple value then add them as new datatable row and finally export full datatable to excel.
    Here is link for CAML:

  • Querying SQL db based off of values in a CSV and exporting filtered list to a new CSV

    Hello, we use Office365 for our student e-mail accounts and are trying to appropriately license those accounts based on if they are currently enrolled or not (currently enrolled get the full license with OneDrive, SharePoint, Lync, Office download etc. while
    non-currently enrolled get e-mail only).  I have exported a list of UserPrincipalNames from Office365 to a CSV that have a particular license applied.  I want to compare that list against a SQL view that will identify if those UserPrincipalNames
    (found under the "Email" column in the SQL database) are currently registered for classes or not (we have a "CurrentlyRegistered" column populated with a "0" for not registered and a "1" for registered"). 
    I then need to export the filtered list of UserPrincipalNames to a different CSV so that I can use that second CSV to change the license in Office365.
    For example, I export a list of accounts from Office 365 that have the e-mail only license applied to a CSV named "Exchange.csv" that has a single column of data with a header of "UserPrincipalName".  I want to compare the accounts
    in the "Exchange.csv" to our SQL view (which among other columns, has one named "Email" that matches the values of "UserPrincipalName" and a "CurrentlyRegistered" column) to see if any have changed status to being currently
    enrolled so that I can flip their license to the full license. I would know this by returning any accounts that have a "1" in the "CurrentlyRegistered" column and saving those to a CSV named "Full.csv" that would have two columns
    with headers "Email" and "CurrentlyRegistered".
    I need to know how to connect to SQL from PowerShell and return the filtered list of accounts that have changed status.  I am hoping for something like:
    $constring = "Server=MyServer\Instance;Database=StudentEmails;Trusted_Connection=True"
    $SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
    $SqlConnection.ConnectionString = $constring
    $SqlCommand = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
    $SqlCommand.CommandText = $query
    $SqlCommand.Connection = $SqlConnection
    $SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
    $SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCommand
    $DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
    $SqlConnection.Open()
    $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
    $SqlConnection.Close()
    $DataSet.Tables[0]
    Remove-Item C:\O365Operations\CSVs\Full.csv
    $query = Import-Csv C:\O365Operations\CSVs\Exchange.csv | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT [Email],[CurrentlyRegistered] FROM [StudentEmails].[dbo].[v_StudentEmailAccounts] WHERE CurrentlyRegistered = '1'"} | Export-Csv C:\O365Operations\CSVs\Full.csv
    -Append}
    Am I anywhere close with this?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy Hawks
    Systems Administrator @ Green River College

    My CSV has a single column with a the #Type in the first line, the header of "UserPrincipalName" in the second line and the rest of the lines having a single e-mail address, similar to:
    #TYPE Selected.Microsoft.Online.Administration.User
    UserPrincipalName
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    The "Email" column in SQL will have some matching values to the "UserPrincipalName" column in the CSV. 
    So if any of the (UserPrincipalName in CSV) values match the values found in the column (Email in SQL) then I want to export those e-mail addresses to a CSV so that I can use the new CSV to change the licenses in Office 365.
    When I run your modified code I get the following:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> $csv=Import-Csv C:\O365Operations\CSVs\Test.csv
    $csv|select email
    foreach($User in $csv){
         # find user

  • Exporting list to excel..order changes?

    hello. thanks for the time and effort.
    i'm a SharePoint 2013 noob. so forgive the simple question.  we moved a team site from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and now a user is complaining that when they export to excel the list they see in IE the order gets changed around when it is exported
    to Excel. They said it worked in SP 2010 where the list they saw on the team site was exported in the same order to Excel.  It's an odd question that I wouldn't know where to start to look.  Thanks again.
    Also i did see that it cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls. 

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to  exporting list to excel. However, the orders were changed.
    I recommend to create a page and add a Data View Web part using SPD on the page and then use SharePoint list as a Data source and add all items into the web part.
    Then from Data view web part exported data to excel.
    In addition, I recommend to modify view to remove the content type column.
    Here are two similar blogs for your reference:
    Question sequence is disordered when we export a survey list to excel
    SharePoint 2010 Export to Excel 2010 Fails to Export All Fields in Some Views
    The list cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls.
    An ActiveX control is used in SharePoint 2013 to validate if you have Excel installed or not.  You can try it out with Chrome on Windows -- it will fail.  
    Take a look at these ActiveX controls in use with SharePoint 2013:

  • I'm trying to export a list to Excel and I'm getting this error: "unable to download owssvr.dll"

    Hi, 
    Help, please.
    I’m trying to export a list to Excel and I’m getting this error: "unable to download owssvr.dll"
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got the error "unable to download owssvr.dll" when exporting a list to Excel.
    owssvr.dll is the module given by Microsoft to read the data from SharePoint Lists using remote procedure call.
    You can find the OWSSVR.DLL in SharePoint 2010 Server Physical Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI.
    Please check whether it exists in SharePoint 2010 Server Physical Path.
    Please check whether you export a list to Excel correctly.
    Generally, the issue is caused by the brower. Please reset the IE to check whether it works.
    In addition, you can repair the Office to check whether it works.

  • Export Related Lists to Excel

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to export related lists along with the primary list data using Export to Excel?
    Thanks!
    K.
    Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

    Hi Kelly,
    As far as I know, from the current SharePoint function, we can’t export the list along with the related list to excel. Because, the excel is not the relation database or data source. So, when you export the list, the relationship will miss.
    In fact, SharePoint list is a form of database table. So, SharePoint list can keep the relationship.
    In excel, you can create multiple data sheet, so, you can store your different list in different data sheet in one excel file. Some data you can choose from the other data sheet to display.

  • Export from SP list to Excel: Excel doesn't show changed colum name. It shows only the original column names, which would be done by the column creation.

    Hello,
    I have an excel list with some columns. I changed the name of some of the column. When I export this list to excel, I always get the first column name, which was created by the creation of the column, and not the new one.
    Is there some possibility to export a SP list to export with the new column names?
    I'm waiting for your help,
    BR
    Damian

    Hi Damian,
    I tested in my environment, change the column name and export to excel list, the exported field name is the correct one.
    Please check the column name from somewhere else from site UI, you could check from SharePoint designer or powershell script.
    [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
    $site= New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite ("http://siteurl")
    $web=$site.OpenWeb()
    $list=$web.Lists["CustomList"]
    $list.Fields |select ID, title, internalname| more
    In addition, I wonder if the issue occurs to all lists or one specific list. If the issue only occurs to one list, please try to save this list as template and create a new list based on this list and test the issue again.

  • Removing the ID of a lookup column when exporting SharePoint list to Excel

    Hi,
    I export a list in Excel and I noticed the lookup column contains an ID together with the name (e.g. John Doe, #12). Is there a way I can avoid exporting the ID in Excel?
    Thanks.

    LookUp Field Values have a string representation of “(ID);#(VALUE)”, i.e. “2;#Second Entry”.
    If you export the list in excel you could create a formula or macro that split/copy only the value in a
    new column and then hide the real one.

  • Issue in Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud)

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to have a discussion on the issues, which I am facing at the time of Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from
    SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud).
    (1). Sales Price List :
    We have maintained Customer Group Specific Sales Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
    Location :         Product and Service Portfolio Work Center > Pricing > Price Lists > Customer Group Specific Price List (Type of Price List)
    Target :             We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
    Records :          Number of Materials in the Customer Group Specific Price List is more than 2,00,000
    Issues : 
                                         (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can filter by number of records but we can export till  50,000 records.
                                                 And if we are trying to export records more than that limit, then it throws "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".
                                         (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product and Service Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center
                                                for getting the entire record set of the Sales Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
    Searching For :
                                          (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Sales Price List records?
                                          (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Sales Price List records in a single shot or module wise?
    (2). Purchase Price List :
    We have maintained the Purchase Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
    Location :           Product Portfolio Work Center > List Prices > Active List Prices (Type of Price List)
    Target :               We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
    Records :            Number of Materials in the Purchase Price List is more than 4,00,000.
    Issues :  
                                           (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can not see more than 10,000 records and the actual number of
                                                   records are more than 4,00,000. We could able to download the records till 10,000 but that is not sufficient.
                                                   We want to export the entire records in an excel sheet.
                                           (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center for
                                                  getting the entire record set of the Purchase Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
    Searching For :
                                           (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Purchase Price List records?
                                           (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Purchase Price List records in a single shot or module wise?
    Please go through the attached screen shots for the references and more clarity on the issues.
    I am waiting for the valuable responses.

    Dear Michael,
    The number of records :
