SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 51796: SAS® Enterprise Guide® might display an exception when you attempt to export a data set with more than 65,000 observations to Microsoft Excel
 |  |  |  |
When you use the Send to ► Microsoft Excel option to export a data set with more than 65,000 observations, you might see the following exception in SAS Enterprise Guide:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
This exception can occur if you are running Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 in compatibility mode. In this mode, the maximum number of rows is 65,000 because Excel 97-2003 workbook is selected as the default file format. To resolve the issue, change your default file format to Excel Workbook instead of Excel 97-2003 workbook.
