XLS download for big queries #88

Which section of the data portal this requests refers to?

Download an occurrence search

Could you describe in detail the suggested enhancement?

When a big query is made (say, for a very upper clade [e.g. plantae]), the 
portal still offers the option of downloading the data in XLS format, which 
is actually completely useless, since it only allows 65,535 records to be 
stored in one sheet.

Is it possible to give the user an option of either downloading a multi-
sheet spreadsheet with each sheet containing 65,535 records until there are 
no records to fit in, or a .xlsx format that is able to handle a far 
greater number of rows in a single sheet?

Could you provide us with an URL of the page that should include the
enhancement?

Any occurrence download page, I guess.

Any other comments?
