In Strategy Web > Preferences > Project Defaults > Export Reports there are two settings that control the maximum number of cells to export: "Maximum number of cells to export to plain text" and "Maximum number of cells to export to HTML and Excel with formatting". However, the maximum number that can be entered in by default is 9999999 (7) and 99999999 (8), respectively. Entering in a greater number will throw a Web API error, as shown below:
The Strategy SDK can be used to increase these default limits. The absolute limit of the Web API is 99999999 (8) and 999999999 (9) for "maximum number of cells to export to plain text" and "maximum number of cells to export to HTML and Excel with formatting", respectively.
Perform the following steps to accomplish this:
1. Open the Web Customization Editor (WCE) > Application Settings > Strategy Web Configuration > Web Configuration Settings > System Definitions
2. Open the "exportMaxCellsPlainText" and change the field "Maximum" under Other Settings. Note: the default max value is 9999999 (7); the absolute maximum that can be set without throwing a Web API error would be 99999999 (8).
3. Repeat with the "exportMaxCellsHTML". Note: the default max value is 99999999 (8); the absolute maximum that can be set without throwing a Web API error would be 999999999 (9).
4. Save and restart the application server.
