The code which i have used for export the table as .xls file is as below:

    //working on crome perfectly       
        var dt = new Date();
        var day = dt.getDate();
        var month = dt.getMonth() + 1;
        var year = dt.getFullYear();
        var hour = dt.getHours();
        var mins = dt.getMinutes();
        var postfix = day + "." + month + "." + year + "_" + hour + "." + mins;
        var a = document.createElement('a');
        var data_type = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel';
        var table_div = document.getElementById('tbl-1');
        var table_html = table_div.outerHTML.replace(/ /g, '%20');
        a.href = data_type + ', ' + table_html;
        a.download = 'exported_table_' + postfix + '.xls';
        a.click();
        e.preventDefault();

Most likely you've hit the 2 MB URL limit in Chrome. You can read about it here - issue link. I suggest you try your app in Firefox, if it works, then that is the issue.
