QuickSight Analysis Export to Excel Limit

Question

Documentation seems to state that QS can export data up to 1,000,000 rows.   When attempting to export an analysis with 650,000 rows - the export shows as being "Limited to 100,000 rows" when exporting to Excel.   The same export to a CSV file works, with the maximum row count of 1,000,000 applied.   Is the Excel export actually limited to 100,000 - or is that limit being applied somewhere else?   Many thanks!

Hi, please see this article on exporting data from visuals on Amazon QuickSight.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/exporting-data.html

Per the documentation: “Amazon QuickSight supports exporting up to 1 million rows or 500 MB of data, whichever limit is reached first.” It is to be assumed that while you are exporting less than 1 million rows, you may have eclipsed the 500 MB limit. Hope this helps.
