Export report to file

A report can be exported to a file directly from the Reports view, which is especially useful when handling large reports. Also, reports can be exported from the Report details view.

A bonus when exporting to Microsoft Excel files (XLS/XLSX) is that standard Excel formulas for summaries, counts, etc. are used, instead of just showing the value.

Note

Excel has a limitation of maximum 256 arguments in a formula. So, for formulas with more than 256 arguments, the value will be shown in the export file.

  1. In the All reports view, click the Download Download2.jpg icon next to the report to be exported.

    The Export to file dialog box appears.

  2. Optionally, change the Name and Description of the report.

  3. Select the Type of file to export to (CSV, PDF, XLS/XLSX, or XML) from the list.

  4. Click Save to export the file.
