I am trying to export data from quickbooks and it is turning to zip files can anybody help?

Hello Jenner-Constructi, 

Welcome to the Community page, 

What information are you trying to export out of QuickBooks exactly that is turning into a zip file for you? 

I would like csv but I tried on Mac  and pc both send as a zip file, any spread Sheed would do 

I select data from Qb to export I go to gear, select export and then select export to excel, and it export it as a zip file with I can't open

Thanks Jenner-Constructi, it's not possible to change the file-type and this will export as a zip-file containing Microsoft Excel Worksheets - are you able to view these when going to the three dots > downloads > show in folder (in Google Chrome)? 

Hi @Jenner-Constructi 

.zip files are pretty standard (effectively a folder containing the files you downloaded).

Windows (even going back several versions) should open with a double-click without any extra software.  If not, right-click > extract will uncompress the folder & you should have the xsl/csv files inside the new folder.
