Exporting large text fields to .xlsx without truncating?

Hello crazy angels.  I am trying to export a table with a large text field from alteryx to excel.  The field values for this field can be up to 1.2 million characters in length.  When I export as .xlsx or .csv, it truncates the field to ~32k characters for each cell.  Any ideas?

Update: 
It looks like I get an Output Data (14) error: "The output code page couldn't fully convert the value in the field.

Well, 32k is the excel column limit.
already for the csv has no limits.
Now if you generate the csv you will not be able to open it with excel use a text editor like Notepad++ or higher

 

also check if the columns are like V_string VW_String that support large amount of characters
