Hello, 

 

I am experiencing a strange issue where when I export a report from Salesforce to Excel, I can't get it to open after downloading. 

 

Excel opens, but then the sheet won't load.  Even stranger, this is only happening with data exported from Salesforce.  I have other systems that output CSV files, and exports from those systems are opening up just fine.  And all my other normal spreadsheets are working like normal - but anything out of SFDC won't load. 

 

Has anyone ever encountered this? 

 

I also tried moving the downloaded file to a folder then using file>open and still nothing. 

 

I feel like an idiot asking how to open a file - but I don't know how else to diagnose this.  Its only files exported from SFDC - so its got to be related to Salesforce somehow. 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

John
