My model output got way too many rows to be exported to excel in arcgis ModelBuilder. It would work if I could use the new xlsx file format but it seems the toolbox can only do xls. After a little research I found that cvs might solve my problem, however when I attempted to use it I got the following error message; 

```

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

When I attempt to use the "table to excel" tool I get the following error: 

```
"Executing (Table To Excel): TableToExcel C:\Users\fmromss\Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb\ro_arealressurs_f_fkb_ny_326_union C:\Users\fmromss\Documents\ArcGIS\scratch\ro_arealressurs_f_fkb_ny_326_union_TableToExcel.xls NAME CODE

```

As it takes a lot of time to scroll in the table Im not completely sure about how many rows we are talking about here but I know its over 180 000
