How to export SharePoint or Microsoft Lists data to Excel or CSV

In this video, we walk through how to export data from SharePoint or Microsoft Lists into Excel or CSV formats. You'll learn how you can export different list views, allowing you to control which columns are included in your export—whether to show more, fewer, or filtered columns.

We also compare the differences between exporting to Excel and CSV:

* Excel Export: Requires identity verification and keeps a live connection with the list, allowing you to refresh the data in Excel as the list updates.
* CSV Export: Creates a standalone copy of your data without requiring identity validation, but doesn’t maintain any connection to the list—great for quick, offline usage.
