Enhancement for Export to Excel with Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1

Remember the days where custom export solutions were required when large data was required to be exported to Excel? Not any more!!!!!

With Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1, Microsoft has redesigned the export to Excel. Following enhancements were included as part of this release:

1) Microsoft preserves the formatting of Excel so you can compute your data in Excel and reimport the data back in Dynamics CRM. This is a huge win!!!!

2) You can now export up to 100,000 records using Out of the Box features like export to Excel. No need to write custom code for this. Previous limit for this was 10,000. So lot of custom coding will be prevented hopefully. Please consider volume and number of users before performing this many times to avoid performance bottlenecks. Suggest sticking to after hours to perform this.

3) Users can now use Excel Online to do quick analysis right from Excel Online. This will help users hoping to get the quick analysis done.

 Enjoy more Excel time with Dynamics CRM.
