Emailing Reports on QB 2019 In Excel Format

Hello, PattiB2021. 

Thanks for reaching out to us. I’ve got some steps to try to fix the export to Excel issue in QuickBooks Desktop. 

To start off, let's update your QuickBooks to the latest release. This will help you download the changes, improvements, and fixes that were made to QuickBooks. Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu at the top, then pick Update QuickBooks Desktop on the drop-down.
2. Select the Update Now tab, then check the box next to Reset Update.
3. Click Get Updates. 

For your reference, you may visit this article: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. 

Next, let's run the Verify and Rebuild utility. This tool will fix any errors it can find and notify you of anything that needs to be manually corrected​. You can also check out this article for detailed steps: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop. 

Once done, try to export your report again to Excel. If you're still getting the same results, you can repair QuickBooks Desktop to fix program-related issues or errors.

Please touch base with me if you need further assistance, I'll be here to help you out. Stay safe!

Thanks so much Aileen,

Unfortunately, none of the fixes have worked. I went though each potential fix one by one.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Office, twice now. I have done all updates and rebuild files and fix files.

I have been through the articles and tried everything they suggest.  I am still getting the same message.  If you run across anything else that could help, I appreciate you letting me know.

Thanks so much I have contacted QuickBooks and they have had me try a trial version of 2021 to see if I can email reports in Excel format from there.  In the meantime, they are working on a solution.

Just a quick update to let you know that the trial version of QB 2021 Desktop did not fix the Excel/email issue, as the QB tech support had hoped.
