FAQ: Download calendar view for Excel

In Timebutler, you can download almost all list views and reports as an Excel file with a single click on the “Download” button (or as a CSV file, the common data exchange format). However, you cannot download the calendar view as an Excel file, for the following reasons:

Excel serves to process data, for example by inserting formulas to calculate sums or averages. A calendar view in Excel is uncommon and does not display well. You also cannot perform calculations with a calendar view.

Manually transfer the calendar

If you want to transfer the calendar view to Excel, you can still do it with some know-how. However, this requires advanced skills: open the calendar view in Timebutler. Select the text in the calendar and copy the selection by pressing the “Ctrl + C” keyboard shortcut.

Open Excel and click any cell in Excel (do not double-click; just single-click). Then paste the copied text by pressing the “Ctrl + V” keyboard shortcut.

Excel fits the calendar text nicely into the different columns/rows, so you now see the calendar view in Excel.

Alternative
You can print the calendar view to a PDF file.
