I have successfully implemented this on a few different views without any problem however I just recently created a view with several relationships and an argument (those are the only differences I could identify) and now when I try to load the view it gives me a timeout. If I make it so the icon doesn't appear on the page it will load just fine and quickly and I can still put in the path that I set to download the xls file but I can't get it to where the icon is on the page...

Any ideas as to how I could fix the problem?

Let me know if you would like to see the exported view. I'm using ubercart fields, ubercart address fields, profile fields, and contact links in the view.

Hi,

Do you still have this problem?
Sorry for long answer.

I never was able to fix this problem. I do think it has something to do with relationships but have not had time to look into it further.

Try this. Do NOT set the view's "items per page" to "unlimited." Instead, set it to a high number, higher than the number of nodes that could be retrieved. That solved the problem for me.

I had the same problem ...

It seemed the whole thing was to do with 'batch export' settings and 'items to display'.

Go to your 'Data export' view -> Export Settings -> Batched Export: I set this to 'no'.
Also, in 'Data export' view -> Basic Settings -> Items to display: I set this to 1000
I tried setting that to 0 (unlimited) but it seems to just lag when downloading it ...

Here seems memory limit problem, I have same problem when I have more than 500 records in view .. what do you think about that?

Same here, no time out, but after 10 -15 seconds I get out of memory when I have more than a few hundred records.
In my case "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /sites/all/modules/cck/modules/nodereference/nodereference.module on line 256"

Yes, this is memory limit problem. Increase memory limit is not a solution but it is possible to limit number of elements when generate file.
I have to close this ticket as views feed will give you same error with too many results.
