    This section describes how to perform basic activities such as building, formatting, and customizing reports and how to provide reports to others, both internally and externally, by creating and updating dashboards.
    • There is a limit of 10 million rows per report created from Export > Data > Excel/CSV/Tab delimiter. If your report fails with the error Max Row Limit Exceeded, it is recommended to add additional filters to make the report smaller.
    • There is a limit of 2 million cells per formatted report created from Export > Formatted > Excel. If your report fails with the error  Max Row Limit Exceeded, it is recommended to add additional filters or remove columns to make the report smaller.
    • When using a report output as input data, the limit of the size of the input report is the same limit as all reports: 10 million rows per report. See Using Report Output as Input Data.
    • When filtering by a field value, there is a limit of 65,000 values when using the In/Equal to operator. You can avoid this limitation in DV by using a data set with the values.  
    • For reports in Narrative View, the limit is 500,000 rows.
    • Do not use special characters (for example: ' , & /) as part of report or folder names, as some functionality will not work.
    • The fields of the date dimensions in Alma Analytics report on data going back to 01/01/1980 and 30 years ahead.
