I have experienced a similar problem when saving Excel data in this format. When any of the variables, except the last, contained missing values, there was not a problem. However, the problem occurred when the last variable contained missing values. My guess is that the last delimiter was left off? The "fill" option worked in my case. Use the option with care and double check the dataset.
