O365 - Export list to excel limitation
Hi,
I have two big SharePoint list. One with 20 000 items, that I can export without problem with the export excel button.
Another one with only 11 000 items, which I can't export because of the thresold limitation. I think they might be a configuration somewhere, but can't find out where ?
The list I can export is an old one, can't remember what sort of configuration I did.
Thanks for your hekp
Hello :),
One easy way of overcoming this issue would be to change the default view filter for your list default Allitems.aspx.
This way when you go back and click on "Export to Excel" your list should be imported (despite the threshold).
You have multiple options to get over this error tho:- Use Indexed Columns & filtered views
- Orgzanize your items into folders and do it separately
- Limit the items on display- Edit the default view
*Note: Excel only allows 52,000 rows imported from SPO.

Another option is to use MS Access with a link to an External Table that is pointing to your SP List

- Hi,
I've a list with 350.000 items. I created list view like your did but it exported only 4000 items. How can I export all items into excel? Ramona Badea My team was able to export a list with ~68000 items. Has this limitation been increased? Is there a new official max?
jasonthe - Honestly, at the present moment, I can't say exactly.. (you could ask someone from MS Support if there still exists a precise limit)
What I know is that there is a limit and that it depends on the type of fields that you have on the list. It is not a number of lines that define the limit, because each type of field can have different sizes.. :)
- Have you tried to add any index to the problematic list?
