Exporting data is a breeze. Users can simply right-click on the data area or a selection of cells they wish to export. This action brings up the option to export the data in Excel or CSV format, making it incredibly convenient to work with the data in tools that many are already familiar with.

The .csv format, known for its simplicity and compatibility with numerous data processing tools, is ideal for large datasets that require a lightweight and straightforward structure. On the other hand, the .xlsx format is perfect for those who rely on the advanced features of Excel, such as data visualization and complex calculations. Imagine being able to export your data to .csv and import it into another system without needing a developer! So powerful!



Dynamics 365 Business Central's Analysis Mode is more than just a feature; it's a strategic asset that empowers users to harness the full potential of their data.
