When exporting to Excel with the grid Properties > Layout > Grid Overflow (PDF & Excel) is set to Fit to grid contents, the lower grid will overlap the first and cut the grid overflow so not all of the contents of the upper grid are shown

CAUSE:
This is a limitation of Excel exporting. Excel does not support scroll bars on grids and the positions of the grids are fixed. Since all data is shown, the overlapping occurs.
 
WORKAROUND:
Place the two grids in different subsections of the document and ensure that the setting is enable for "height can grow" in both subsection.
