The saveAsExcel() method, with allPages = true, on the Kendo UI Grid is silently failing for me when trying to export around 35,000 rows in Chrome.  IE 11 saves the file as expected.  Trying to save approximately half of the rows in Chrome works.  It appears to be limited by the client-side save operation (Chrome will save the file if forceProxy = true).  The exported XLSX file is approximately 1.5MB on disk.  Any ideas or known limitations related to file size would be appreciated.

Browser: Chrome 47.0.2526.80 m

OS: Windows 2008 R2

Kendo UI: v2015.3.1111

jQuery: v2.1.4

Hello,

It is possible to see such a difference between the browsers. Every browser has its own limitations and I'm afraid that in most cases we don't have control over them.
That said, exporting large amounts of data during export will generate strings that might be too long for the given browser.
In this case, I would recommend that you try using server export:
Server-side Excel export
