Export to an Excel static worksheet to store unvarying data

Can I do this task?

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. For more information, see Create, edit, or save an Advanced Find search.

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.

  1. In the Data group, click Export to Excel.
  2. In the Export Data to Excel dialog box, click Static worksheet with records from this page.

    - OR -

    In the Export Data to Excel dialog box, click Static worksheet with records from all pages in the current view.

    The second option is visible only when your view includes more than one page of records.

    Note

    If you are exporting the data so that you can make changes and import it back into Microsoft Dynamics CRM, select the Make this data available for re-importing by including required column headings check box.

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

    You will see a message that says the file that you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Click Yes.

  5. Save the exported data to a file.

    If you are using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button OfficeButton, and then click Save.

    If you are using Microsoft Excel 2010, on the File tab, click Save.
