Exporting to MS Excel
Last updated : 3rd July 2026
Workbooks can export data in a format compatible with Microsoft® Excel™. Note that it is not compatible with most other spreadsheet software such as Google Spreadsheet and the Open Office spreadsheet (‘Calc’) – for these applications please use the Export to CSV function instead.
This spreadsheet format has a particular benefit for large exports in that Workbooks can start to send data to your web browser before it has completed reading all the requested data. For large exports this means your download starts much more quickly.
