This is a limitation in Microsoft Excel.

The error message for this is not very descriptive:

Unexpected error translating the tag-value to spreadsheet: The maximum length of cell contents (text) is 32,767 characters

The error message should be specific to the field where the cell length has been exceeded.

Another possible solution is to truncate the text fields, however, this can be dangerous as we are modifying the contents of an SPDX document.
