Jonathan, There are some size restriction in generating MS Excel files. The IDV is still relying on the old Excel export library which limits the file to 256 columns. To upgrade to the new Excel library will increase the software package dramatically and this is why we have not done upgrade. I am not sure if there is any help we can offer other than asking you to subset your gridded data first and then save to the Excel file. If you feel like the size restriction is not at issue here, you can upload your data here http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload, let us know when you have uploaded the data, and we can take a look.
