Rick,

I can't speak for the developers, but I haven't heard anyone raise this
before, so I don't think it's on anyone's agenda.

That said, you might look at saving the file in SQL and using a database
query to extract the data you seek.

Hi,

First time posting to this list. I've been using GNUCash for several
years now. Currently on a Lunbuntu computer, using GNUCash version
2.6.12. I use it for 4 different businesses, and aside from having no
inventory function (I track that in a spreadsheet), it serves my
purposes quite well. So, first off, thank you for having this program.
It does a great job and is pretty flexible in general.

I wanted to know if there was a plan for an export of the various lists
like vendor, customer, employee, etc. I see where they can be imported,
but no ability to export them. I've tried some of the solutions of
creating a transaction report, but I've not be able to get that to
include fields like addresses, phone #s, etc. Just the company name.

Related to that, it would be nice to be able to do a list report, which
could be used to export those same lists, a report that would allow for
listing all the fields in the different lists.

So, are there any plans for this feature? Thank you!

Hi Rick,

I'm not at my computer but from memory you can use the Customer or Vendor
Summary. Select the required fields using the report options, then use
Ctrl-A to select everything, then copy and paste into a spreadsheet.
