When exporting search results, which format can you choose?

The ability to export search results in NetSuite SuiteAnalytics is quite versatile, and selecting CSV or Excel format is particularly beneficial for data manipulation and analysis. CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files are commonly used for data export because they are lightweight and can be opened in a variety of applications, including spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel. These formats allow users to easily process, sort, and analyze data within familiar tools.

Excel format specifically enhances this capability by preserving certain functionalities, such as formulas, formatting, and multi-sheet structures that can be included in a workbook. Many users prefer these formats because they facilitate further data analysis, reporting, and integration with other data systems.

While other formats like PDF or Word may offer utility for presentation or formal documentation, they typically do not allow for the same level of data manipulation and are less suited for tasks that require editing or re-analysis of data sets. HTML format, although useful for web displays, also lacks the features necessary for effective data handling compared to CSV or Excel. Thus, the choice of exporting search results as CSV or Excel provides the most flexibility and usability for data tasks in SuiteAnalytics.
