How can I export data from a list to an Excel document?

If the list has a checkbox column to the left and a download button in the top right section you can export data from the list to Excel.

Select the rows you would like to export and click “Export selected to Excel”.

The export will include all columns available in the list, even the ones you have hidden. Your personal column order will not be reflected in the export. If a column contains values from multiple fields these will be in separate columns in the export.

You can not export more than 2 000 rows directly from a list. If the list is showing persons or organizations you can create a query instead and use the Excel exports available in the query module.
