Microsoft excel has stopped working (on model update...).

Hi eb
I have chaneged the query of an excel 2013 power pivot model's data source.
On save an update of the models data is launched.
Every thing goes well until the very end of data retrieval (around 27 milion records).
At that point excel crashes with the enoying massage 'Microsoft excel has stopped working'.
I have looked in windows logs there is just one general massage with nothing in it...
Where would you go looking?
File size at 4.5 milion records is 111MB so at 27 milion should be around 666MB...
TIA!
Rea

What version of Excel 2013 do you have installed? 32 bit or 64 bit? It sounds like 32 bit based on your above scenario. When you have excel open, open up task manager and watch your memory usage. 32 bit Excel is capped at 2 GB of RAM, but realistically it
starts crashing right around the 650 MB to 1.2 GB range. (I've seen it crash anywhere in this range)
I'd suggest either limiting your query down to pull much fewer rows or installing the 64 bit version of Office/Excel.
In addition to what SQLBISchmidt has already mentioned, double check that you are only including columns that will actually be used within the Power Pivot model. Be especially careful with columns that have many distinct values (i.e. high cardinality) as
these can be very costly in terms of memory consumption.
Do you happen to have any complex calculated column calculations in the table or related tables? This can also cause these kind of issues if it is indeed memory-pressure related.
You may find this official help article useful in finding a way to reduce the memory footprint of this table: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/create-a-memory-efficient-data-model-using-excel-2013-and-the-power-pivot-add-in-HA103981538.aspx

  • Microsoft Excel Has Stopped Working at End of VBA Code

    I'm using Microsoft Excel Professional Plus 2010.  My code essentially looks up a date in a different sheet, copies it to another sheet in an organized location, and prints to PDF.  If I run the code for a period longer than a couple months ago,
    at the end of the VBA code, it states "Microsoft Excel Has Stopped Working", quits, and recovers.
    I added in a piece of code at the end to save the workbook, which it does, then it quits.  I can reopen the document and all my work is saved.  There is something going on I can't put my finger on but for some reason it only happens when I'm dealing
    with more information than usual (a couple months worth, possibly only 20-30 rows of info).
    Any suggestions?  Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, we'd better do some tests to narrow down the issue and find the root cause.
    Please copy the file with code to another PC (We'd better use the similar environment) to test.
    First, if it works well, this issue might be caused by the Excel or other program in your PC. I recommend we follow this KB to troubleshoot:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
    Then, if the issue still exists, we could collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do deep troubleshoot.
    Second, if it still crashes Excel 2010 in other PC, it might be due to the VBA code. I suggest you upload the code and post the issue to MSND forum for Excel to get more help.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Microsoft Excel has stopped working

    We are on BW 7.0 and BEx7.0
    I have activated BI Content of InfoCube 0WBS_C11 and all it's SAP delivered Query elements. The InfoCube is loaded with data already.
    When I run the queries in BEx, I got message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working" on the queries which have only one parameter of  "My Controlling Area", If the queries have other parameters like BWS besides Controlling Area, I got"No Applicable Data Found" .
    Please help, thanks.

    We are on ERP Release 604 level 0004 SP SAPKH60404. 
    Office 2007 or lower is the standard for our users.  When Report Painter and Infoset query reports are displayed in Excel view using Office 2010 Excel and the file tab is selected (to save the file), a box with the message 'Microsoft Excel has stopped working' appears. 
    We just discovered this issue and are looking for an answer.  The work around for now is to export a spreadsheet file.

  • Excel 2013 Error - Microsoft Excel has stopped working.

    Just downloaded and installed Office 2013 to my new Windows 8 machine. Every time I try to use one of the Office products I receive the following message:
    Microsoft has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Please advise.  Thanks.

    Hope my experience helps anyone searching for answers to Excel /Word /Office freezing issues.
    I have just fixed frozen Excel & Word applications in Office 2010. This happened
    some 6 years ago and as my memory gets a bit more rusty every year, it took me sometime
    to remember. First instance was with MS XP and Office 2000 - yes, old like me.
    Both instances were with my wife's machine, so you can understand the
    situation. I spent into the early hours search forums like this and trying all
    sorts of fixes that are listed. In the end, the fix that fixed the problem was
    to renew the user profile. That is, register anew user, then transfer all of
    the files from the corrupted user profile to the new profile. Not an easy job,
    but doable for most of us who are technologically challenged.<o:p></o:p>
    If anyone wants to try this, then just remember that there three types of files
    that are not copied over.  The following site gives the process.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-NZ/windows-vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
    Remember that Favorites, email messages and contacts also need to be copied over.
    This fix may not necessarily be the solution for everyone's issues with Office applications
    freezing, but it fixed mine.
    I'm now a hero again in my household :)
    P.S. I am still using Office 2000 and it's a great suite of programs. Should still be working after I'm long gone.

  • Excel has stopped working when I try to launch Excel 2013 Powerpivot

    Redirected from the Win 7 forum: (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/excel-has-stopped-working-when-i-try-to-launch/01460690-abab-495f-ab5f-904f72f88668)
    My system is a Windows 7 machine, 64 bit
    I previously had Excel 2010 32bit with 32 both Powerpivot installed.  However I am currently evaluating 64 bit Excel 2013 with Powerpivot for my company so I uninstalled Excel 2010 and installed an evaluation copy of Excel 2013 64 bit.
    However whenever I launch Excel, enable Powerpivot, then click any of the Powerpivot buttons it gives me an error saying "Excel has stopped working".
    I took a look in the Windows events logs and found:

    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing as well as doing a Repair on my .net framework, which is the latest version.

    You can go to check the dll file, what's size of this dll file?
    If the file size is 0 byte, you can check the link below:
    http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2735528
    Also you can go to check the disabled items (File->Options->Add-ins->Disabled items->Go) to see if any dll file was disabled.
    In addition, Isn't the latest version of .NET Framework supposed to be 4.0?(Not quite familiar with this)

    Hello jobzaa, sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

    Does iTunes not see the phone?
    If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
    If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.
