The problem is not Stata - you are probably exceeding the limits of Excel: 65,536 rows by 256 columns for Excel 2010.


You can get half way there if you write as a comma separated file, but then Excel still can't open it.

Dear Statalisters,

I have a large dataset that I want to write to an Excel file, so I was
excited about Stata 12's new, improved import excel/export excel
features. However, the file I'm writing to is ~60Mb in size, and I
keep getting an error "file testsheet.xlsx could not be loaded". This
does not happen when I try to write to a smaller, or blank excel
sheet, I increased Stata's memory to much more than 60Mb, and I even
added the undocumented "set excelxlsxlargefile on" to my code, all to
no avail.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? Any help appreciated.

David
