Exporting data
You can either export an entire database or single tabels. Ninox supports data export to the following file formats:
- .xlsx Microsoft Excel 2007 and later.
- .csv CSV files (comma-separated values) with several output format options.
- .ninox Ninox Database archive format.
In Ninox you can call the “Data Export” function in two places.
From the database homepage, you can export one or multiple tables in raw form – that means the entire table with all fields and values.
Exporting from the data view means that filters, groupings, and additional columns will be exported as well. Thus, you export what you see.
Open the database homepage. And then click Database Export. In the next dialog you can choose between CSV and Excel export.
Only in Native apps (Mac app, iPad, iPhone, Android). Not available on Cloud or Server.
Choose which table you want to export. From the database home page, you can export tables in raw format. That means that the contents of the every field of the table will be copied. Sorting, groupings and computed columns will not be adopted. To insert calculated columns Insert a field into the table with a function instead or use mass data changes to add a field with the desired values.
In order to convert tables in the typical xlsx Microsoft Excel format click on the tab “Excel Export”. Select the tables to be exported.
Exporting a table view gives you more control over the generated data. The export will include any visible column and respect sorting and filtering as well. Thus you can also export calculated data.
If you export from the data view you only export the columns that are visible in the data view. The output file will also contain sorting, filters, grouping and calculated columns. Open the data view of the table to be exported. Click on the tab of the data view and select “Export Data”.
