There is a checkbox for “display all results in grid”. Make sure that is unchecked.

I use toad for more than 10 years.

never had problem with Excel export if:

  1. have good network (data from db server to mine client)

  2. Have enough memory on mine comp

  3. have proper CPU and good tuned windows
    If you have all of this then:

  4. try export to plain text or clipboard. is it faster?

  5. if is please show SQL and data types involved in SQL.

On some versions of Toad, when exporting to Excel File, the XLS and XLSX formats would have significantly different performance as number of rows gets high. So you could try changing that.

If you are exporting to file, you could try “export to excel instance” or vice-versa.

If you haven’t restarted your computer in a while, that might help. Or maybe run CCleaner if you never have (or not in a while). That’s good for ‘cleaning out the junk’ that windows accumulates after a while. But I’ve never had to rely on that to make Toad work quickly.
