Hi Brook



You are correct in that reports are in html. However, all you have to do is highlight the whole report with the mouse. With that done do a Control and C copy. Next open your spread sheet and paste.



Alternatively save the report, then open it with your spreadsheet. You will likely get asked about the document layout - it is Tab delimited. Having chosen that the file shoul load. You can then save it in the native format of the spreadsheet.

I use a transaction report for what you seek.  With the right options I get the account, date, description and amount.  Copy paste the result into a spreadsheet

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but how do you copy/paste the result into a spreadsheet.

My understanding is that the reports are HTML documents.  Perhaps there is some magic I am not aware of?

 Cheers,
 Brook

Most spreadsheet programs will open HTML files. Apache OpenOffice, LibraOffive, and Excel I know will.
