Hello there, @treasurer_rcnrhs!
You can definitely export your data as an excel file. I'll be happy to share a few insights and help you from there.
First off, here is the list of data that you can export to MS Excel:
- Customers Transaction
- Vendors Transaction
- Payroll Transaction
- Item List
- Reports
Once your on these pages, simply look for the Excel button and open it in a new worksheet so you can export them to MS Excel.
Thus said, I've included an article you can read to learn more about the steps of exporting them to Excel: Import or Export MS Excel Files.
As always, you can visit our Help Articles page for QuickBooks Desktop if in case you need to learn some tips and related articles in the future.
