Problem: “I get the following message “Data has been Truncated” when I click to ‘Preview’ dashboard in Crystal Xcelsius. How can I make this go away?
Solution: Increase the Maximum Number of Rows in Crystal Xcelsius.
Note: Business Objects recommends not to exceed 512 rows, however we have increased this number up to 5000 and our models worked fine!
Using Xcelsius 2008:
2. In Preferences -> ‘Excel Options’ (Change ‘Maximum Number of Rows’)
Using Crystal Xcelsius 4.5:
1. Go to Data -> Maximum Number of Rows (Change ‘Maximum Number of Rows’)

Hi Xcelsius,
I even put my max on 2000, because my im using report with 200 records in it.
But when opening dashboard i see,its still using only 512 rows.
I check this to add a count in excel to check the number of rows when report is loaded in dashboard
Hopefully you can help me.
Sounds a bit buggy.
Sorry to say but have you tried an install?

Hi Xcelsius,
I tried to increase the number of rows allowed to 2000, but when I try to preview the report, I get the message (sorry about the translation): “error in creating WSF”. Do you know how I fix this?
