Hey there, @bookkeeper352.
I'll share additional troubleshooting steps to help you export your reports to Excel.
Let's start by updating QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This keeps your software up-to-date so you always have the latest features and fixes.
Here's how:
- Go to the Help menu, then select the Update QuickBooks Desktop tab.
- Switch to the Update Now tab. You can select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
- Select Get Updates to start the download.
- When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
- When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.
Then, open QuickBooks and try exporting the report again. If you're still getting the same result, check out our QuickBooks system requirements. Each version of QuickBooks Desktop works with specific versions of Microsoft Office. You can review the system requirements for your version of QuickBooks: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021.
In case your Excel version isn't compatible with QuickBooks, you'll need to upgrade to the supported one.
If you're using a compatible version, repair your Office application to fix the problem. Then, go back into QuickBooks and export a report.
As an additional solution, you can also toggle your Windows UAC settings on and off. This should reset anything blocking the export feature.
Here's how:
- Open the Windows Start menu. Type User Account Control Settings into the search and open User Account Control Settings.
- Select and move the slider to Never Notify. Then select OK.
- Restart your computer.
You can also uninstall and reinstall your QuickBooks Desktop and Excel application to refresh their settings and configurations. For your reference, suggest checking out these links:
