Windows 11 Compatibility

Let's make sure you'll be able to successfully export reports, ipower.

Sometimes, you may encounter issues when exporting to Excel. If you're using Microsoft Office 365, ensure to use the version installed on your computer instead of using the web browser version. Then, make sure your QuickBooks version is up to date. Once done, you can now open QuickBooks and export the report. Follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the Reports menu and open any report on the list.
2. Select the Excel button. All export options, including Excel, should be available.

But if you still can't export, check the QuickBooks system requirements. Each QuickBooks Desktop version works with specific versions of Microsoft Office. If you've found out that your Microsoft Office version isn't compatible, you'll have to upgrade. 

However, if it is compatible, you can repair Microsoft Office. For more solutions that you can try so, you'll be able to export to Excel, I've provided this article for your guide: Fix Export To Excel Issues In QuickBooks Desktop.

Aside from that, there are times you'll encounter problems and errors when using QuickBooks. The most basic thing that you'll have to do to fix the issue is to get the QuickBooks Tool Hub's recent version. I've added this resource for more information and reference: Fix Common Problems and Errors With The QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

@ipower  RE: We have recently upgraded to Windows 11. Immediately we were unable to export reports into Excel. 

What happens when you try to export reports to Excel? For example, do you get an error message?

When attempting to export to Excel all selections are grayed out except for exporting in csv formatting.  So no there isn't any type of error message.  The option to export in xls format is not available.  I have used the QB Tool Hub without success.  Again this is only a Windows 11 issue.

Being able to export to Excel is our top priority, ipower,

Normally, the troubleshooting steps I provided above to fix the export to Excel issues should work and let you continue working with QuickBooks again. Since you're still unable to do so, I recommend reaching out to our support team so they can double-check why is this happening. They have also the tools to pull up your account in a more secure environment. Here's how to reach them:

1. Open QuickBooks.
2. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
3. Select Contact Us.
4. Give a brief description of your issue, then select Let's talk, and then choose a way to connect.

In addition, QuickBooks also provides a variety of reports that caters to your business needs. The way QuickBooks generate reports may depend on certain factors. Go through this article for your reference: Understand Reports. 

Feel free to let me know if you have concerns about exporting to Excel. Remember, we're here to make sure everything is taking care.

@ipower  RE: When attempting to export to Excel all selections are grayed out except for exporting in csv formatting.

This is QuickBooks subtle way to tell you it doesn't recognize that Excel is installed - or it doesn't recognize the version of Excel it finds as compatible.

When you upgraded Windows, did you also upgrade Excel?

Assuming you continue to use an installed local version of Excel (and not Excel running in your browser), Repairing the Excel/Office installation from the Windows control panel may fix the issue.
