Import/Export from Report

Hello! I am having some difficulties import/exporting from a QB report. This functionality only seems to be available in the Table Homepage, however that does not work for my use case. I need to be able to work offline in an Excel CSV file on specific fields, and then be able to import those fields (associated to a project ID) into my Table. I have over 700 fields in my Table, but the Excel CSV will only have around 40 fields/columns that require updating.

When I try to import/export from my Report, that functionality is not available. When I try to import/export from the Table Homepage, I end up exporting all 700 fields/columns, making it really difficult to work on the records offline.

What is the best way to solve this problem statement? Thank you in advance!

  • You can use your custom report (with 40 fields you need) to export the data, then use the default table report to import the data.  

    The Import/Export menu item doesn't display on the custom report; however, there is a download icon (see attached icon circled in red).

    When you import the updated data from the table home page, only the columns in the csv will update.

  • Thank you, this worked! I needed to bring over the Project ID into the custom report for the report download. Success import into the default table report, thank you!
