Hello,
I am trying to add a 4th Tab using page break in Report Builder and export to excel format but I get the error "maximum request length exceeded" error. Is there a way I can work around this?
Hi @mjsystemss ,
If you have administrative access to the Report Server, you can increase the maximum request length by modifying the "web.config" file for the Report Server.
If the report is still too large, consider splitting the report into multiple reports with fewer tabs each.
Export each report separately and then combine them manually if needed.
Best Regards,
Xianda Tang

Hello, Thanks for your feedback. Changing the 9000 to may be 11000 does it control the size of mail subscription in report server? I have a subscription that failed at 22MB size and I changed it to shared subscription. It has reached 28MB and the shared subscription has started failing too
