Why do I get this error message upon opening the FME generated excel file? 

Based on the observation, the records are corrupted in some instances with missing values in the features. I have attached the screenshot for the reference.

      Hi ​@aashnaparikh Can you share some data or workbench? What version of FME are you using? I am wondering if it is a file version issue with the excel you have installed and the format that FME is writing? Or that the data being written to the excel file does is an incompatible data type for excel (fields too long etc).

      Have you tried writing this out to csv and opening that csv with excel? Same result? data loss?
      Hope this helps.

      At your rest service ^B

        ​@aashnaparikh Can you provide more details about your FME Workflow such as the version of FME, the Readers and Writers?
