I understand how important it is to be able to export your reports to excel from QuickBooks Desktop. Let me help and make sure this issue gets resolved.
Before we start, make sure to update your QuickBooks to the latest release. This ensures that QuickBooks works in its optimal mode. You can follow the steps below to do this manually:
- Go to the Help menu.
- Click on Update QuickBooks Desktop.
- Go to Update Now tab. You can select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
- Select Get Updates to start the download.
- Once the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
- When prompted, select Install Now to install the updates.
It's also best to check the system requirements since each versions of QuickBooks only works with specific versions of Microsoft Office. If your version of Microsoft Office isn't compatible with your QuickBooks, you'll need to upgrade. You can use this link as your guide: How do I upgrade Office?
If it doesn't work, I'd recommend following this link from Microsoft for the steps to repair an Office application.
If the issue still persists, you can uninstall and reinstall QuickBooks Desktop. Microsoft Office and Excel need to be installed on your computer before you install QuickBooks.
I wanna make sure I got you covered. Please leave a comment below and let me know how it goes. I'll keep an eye on your response. Have a great weekend!
