I keep getting this error (see below) when trying to save the attribute table to an Excel file using XY Tools. Can anyone help? I have deleted and re-installed xytools but this hasn't helped.

An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Doug/.qgis2/python/plugins\xytools\xytools.py", line 301, in excelSave
xlw.writeAttributeRow(rowNr, values)
File "C:/Users/Doug/.qgis2/python/plugins\xytools\providers\excel.py", line

57, in writeAttributeRow self.ws.write(rowNr, colNr, cell) File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xlwt\Worksheet.py", line 1030, in write self.row(r).write(c, label, style) File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xlwt\Worksheet.py", line 1078, in row self.rows[indx] = self.Row(indx, self) File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xlwt\Row.py", line 42, in __init raise ValueError("row index (%r) not an int in range(65536)" % rowx) ValueError: row index (65536) not an int in range(65536)

Python version: 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:44:16) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

QGIS version: 2.6.1-Brighton Brighton, e2a51df

  • The "not an int range(65536)" message seems to allude the format that you are saving to may not support more than 65536 records, superuser.com/questions/366468/…

As my comment suggests, you need to save to a newer version of excel (v2007 or >) to save a GIS table that has more than 65536 records.

An alternative is to use the MMQGIS plugin which, when enabled, could be accessed from the Toolbar:

MMQGIS > Import / Export > Attributes Export to CSV File

Hope this helps!

ValueError("row index (%r) not an int in range(65536)" % rowx) ValueError: row index (65536) not an int in range(65536)

indicates that the number of rows is to large. *.xls has a max number of rows according to this post.

You could try to save it as *.xlsx or split the records or try it with another plugin as Joseph suggests.

There is a workaround where you can select all attributes by hitting the left uppermost in the attribute table

enter image description here

press Ctrl + C to copy all the attributes

Open excel and paste the features

Hope this will help you.
