Hello everyone,
I have been scheduling exports at my workplace but they are sent as text files to my colleagues. How can I change this so that people receive a CSV or an Excel workbook instead?

Scheduling an export as a CSV or Excel Workbook

Hi
Welcome to the Freshworks Community!
I understand you would like your data to be sent out as excel sheets, ideally, Freshdesk allows scheduled exports from Reports and Analytics.
If this is scheduled in the Reports section, you will be receiving them as a text file, but if you want to download your reports, you can navigate to each individual metric and share this data with your agents.
Please refer to this short video to extract this file -

We also recommend using the Data Export option to send our .csv files to your agents, this is available from the Pro Plan in Freshdesk. But this allows you to export only the Ticket properties.

In the case of Analytics, you can only schedule .csv data from your widgets as shown in the below video, if this is set up at a Report level, you will only receive this in the pdf format -

You can now download widgets in Excel format (XLSX) by selecting the option ‘XLSX of tabular data’ in the Download menu. Please see the screenshot below.
