I need CSV output instead of Excel

Avatar photoCustomer May 9, 2023 at 8:31 am

We need the report output in a standard text format for an interface feed, not the default Excel XLSX. How can I change the output format at runtime?

      The default output format is Excel XLSX. You can change this at runtime using the Options window. Look for the ‘Output Format’ field.

      What formats are available besides XLSX?

    • Support May 13, 2023 at 4:28 am  

      The available options are CSV (comma separated values), TSV (tab separated values), or XLSX.

      Can I set a system-wide or report-specific default format to avoid selecting it every time?

      Yes, you can define a Default report output format in the Report Options section of the Setup window. Alternatively, you can set a system-wide default using the profile option ‘Blitz Report Output Format’.

      If I choose CSV, is there any complexity regarding delimiters?

    • Support May 16, 2023 at 8:30 pm  

      Yes, the default delimiter for CSV is a comma. However, in some countries, regional settings use a semicolon instead. You can manage this by setting the profile option ‘Blitz Report CSV File Delimiter’ to match your required separator.
