Which format option can you use for the various reports?

Recommended: CSV (comma delimited)

The CSV (comma delimited) export format option is recommended when wanting to

  • add calculations, and/or 
  • Add formatting. 
The CSV export format option offers the most flexibility.

Review the report or item. Often one of these export formats will suffice.
