2026-09-04We have updated the Excel export. It is now faster and more reliable, especially when you work with larger participant and contact lists.
The updated export creates files in .xls format, preserves Swedish characters and leading zeros, and handles dates and numbers correctly.
You will find it both as the XLS (BETA) button in the participant list of a form and under Contacts when you use the advanced search, including search with extra fields.
Good to know: Because the file is downloaded from the web, Excel often opens it in read-only mode and in compatibility mode (the older .xls format). This is normal and does not mean anything is wrong.
How to save your own copy: Open the file and choose File and then Save As. Choose where to save the file. If you want to remove compatibility mode, you can also change the format to Excel Workbook (.xlsx). After that you can edit and save as usual.
