Let’s gear up to learn!

Methods to export Salesforce Reports to Excel

There are some methods to consider for exporting Salesforce reports to Excel

  • Manually export
  • Schedule export
  • Salesforce API

1. Manually export:

This is a native functionality that allows you to Export Salesforce reports to Excel manually. You can export formatted reports as Excel files or the raw data as Excel.

To export reports from Salesforce, a user must have the ‘Export Reports’ permission. The Export Reports permission manages a user’s ability to export a report into Excel or CSV file format.
