Export Reports with Split Duration Fields and Converted Unit Type

What's New

When you export (send or download) a report to Excel that includes duration-type fields, you can now:

  • split duration fields into separate duration and unit columns
  • convert the units to minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months

Note: These features are not available in:

  • Crosstab reports. For crosstab reports, the values are exported with the units appearing in the column headers.
  • Reports scheduler
  • Send Report customization action

Benefits

Easier post-processing and analysis of reports:

  • Split columns
    • Use plain numbers for manipulating the data
    • Remove unnecessary data
  • Convert units
    • Use the same duration units across the report

How it Works

  1. Select Export > Download report as Excel or Send report as Excel.
    The options are also available for scheduled Excel reports.
