Hi! I have created dozens of forma and never had this issue. When exporting to excel, one column is only exporting one or two characters. After reading a post from 12/2011 about a field not appearing in the exported data, I used the csv work-around and the data is there. My concerns is that the comment from 2011 said you might change something to make it work - and I was not sure if something else has changed or why is this not exporting into excel? Thanks!

It should be working correctly. Anything from 2011 should be fixed.

But the issue happened yesterday, 4/3/15, and the fix from 2011 solved it. Is there a new issue that kept my data from exporting into excel?

There should not be any issues. If the data is exporting as a CSV correctly, the Excel file should be fine as well (the files are built off the same data sets).

Occasionally if a form is changed after it has already begun receiving submissions, this can cause some weirdness. I'm not sure that this is the case here. There is also a slight possibility that a form submitter inserted a special character or tab into a question and that Excel is interpreting it in an odd way.
