Export data to an Excel static worksheet

Can I do this task?

  1. In any area with a list of records, select the columns to include in the exported list.

    By default, an exported worksheet includes the fields that are displayed in the list, using the same field order, sorting, and field widths.

    To make changes to the columns in an Advanced Find View, click Edit Columns. You can make the following types of changes:

    Change the column order

    Add columns

    Configure sorting

    Change column width

    Remove columns

    You cannot change the columns for a system view, such as All Active Accounts. You must either customize the view, which requires the System Administrator or System Customizer security role, or use Advanced Find to create your own view based on the current view. To create your own view, with the system view open, click Advanced Find.

  2. On the Actions toolbar, click the Export to Excel button Export to Excel button.
  3. In the Export Data to Excel dialog box, select Static worksheet with records from this page.

    - OR -

    Select Static worksheet with records from all pages in the current view.

    This option will be visible only when your view includes more than one page of records.

  4. Click Export.
  5. To view the static worksheet, click Open.

    If you are using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, you will see a message that says the file you are trying open is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Click Yes.

  6. To save the exported data to a file, in Excel, on the File menu, click Save.

Notes

To ensure that the file is exported correctly, you must have data in every row of the last column of the list you are exporting. You can add a space or other character in last column of the file or reorder the columns so that the last column always contains data. More information: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 77295
