Last updated on DECEMBER 28, 2023

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

You are exporting a Financial Reporting report in a book to Excel.  You receive the following error:

"A DDE error has occurred and a description of the error cannot be displayed because it is too long.  If the filename or path is long, try renaming the file or copying it to a different folder"


During the export process, you tried to Save the report instead of opening it in Excel. It saved with long name containing a number of extra characters.

Example:

'Q4, Member1, , Member5, [Member6 Member7], Member8, Member9, Member10, Member11)[1].xls'.

When you open this file in Excel, you receive the DDE error again.
