For about the last week or so our users have been reporting issues exporting list content to excel. This is happening on different lists on different sites.
We have found that once they get the 'An unexpected error has occurred' message if they switch to a different view then return to the original view they can export without error., but needless to say folks aren't happy with that workaround.
Anyone else experiencing this or aware of anything going on?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for replying. We have several different sites with custom lists, and this has been reported frequently over the last week or so. The one we are getting the most calls on has around 30 columns, no special characters in the columns and nothing out of the ordinary in the content, and the list has about 475 items. We are experiencing this using both IE 11 and 75.
User clicks Export to Excel, gets prompted to open or save the query.iqy file, clicks Open and gets the security prompt to enable data connections, clicks Enable then gets the Unexpected error. At this point we can click OK, then open a different view in the list then either toggle back to the original or stay there and click Export to Excel again, and we repeat the above, but this time the export opens. If we close/reopen the browser it once again fails to open on the initial attempt.
Hope these details help, please let me know if more info is needed.
