I have included the “export table data” button on all object list views.Though I’m not sure it has been configured correctly.


Upon clicking this button, the file downloads.


When I try to open the file I’m asked what program I’d like to use to open the file (see screenshot below of the file that has downloaded.



When I open the file, I am required to use the “text to columns” function for the fields to be seperate by column.


Is this by design, or have I configured something incorrectly?


I’d really like to get away from using Salesforce report builder, but this isn’t currently an upgrade.

Fixed this by upgrading!


Also, export to Excel should really be labelled as “Export to CSV” as it’s a comma separated values text file that we can open in Excel using it’s ability to interpret as rows and columns.
