Hello there, @SS2024.

 

I understand the importance of the Export Payroll Data to Excel report in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). For now, Let's use the verify and rebuild tools in QBDT that address a data issue with your company file that causes the behavior where the menu option of Export Payroll Data to Excel isn't showing. 

 

The verify function is designed to identify any corrupted data, while the Rebuild function will attempt to fix the damaged data detected. It also enables your QuickBooks software to restore the data inside the company file. However, ensure to have a backup copy of your company file before doing the Verify and Rebuild process. If changes occur, having a backup copy allows you to restore it to undo the changes.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Window, then select Close All.
  2. Go to File, then choose Utilities.
  3. Select Verify Data. If you see:
  • QuickBooks detected no problems with your data — your data is secure, so you don't need to do anything else.
  • If you see an error message – you can search on our QBDT support site to learn how to fix it.
  • If your data has lost integrity – damage to your data was found in the file and we have to rebuild your data.

 

If you need to rebuild the data in your company file, please follow the steps provided below:

 

  1. Go to File, then select Utilities.
  2. Click on Rebuild Data.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions, then press OK.
  4. Select the place where you want your backup file to be saved, then tap OK.
  5. Enter a new name in the File name. Click Save.

 

Please refer to the article below, which provides detailed instructions on the steps I outlined earlier.: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop

 

If the issue is still not fixed, I recommend contacting our support team to help you further. The team has the expertise and necessary tools to assist you with this concern. 

 

In addition, you might want to check this article to help you personalize and get the most by customizing any report that you want to generate: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
