# Exporting Grid Information

Grids / lists / overviews can all be exported to Microsoft Excel.

## Exporting Main Grid Information

Either selected items, or all items, can be exported from the [Main Screen](/v414/docs/basic-navigation-other-main-menu-options) grid. The steps are similar to [generating a report](/v414/docs/report-generation).

To export items in a Main Screen grid:

- Go to the [Main Screen](/v414/docs/basic-navigation-other-main-menu-options).
- Select the Units that the report must show, with the scoping bar (see [Generating Reports](/v414/docs/report-generation));
- Select other key parameters, with the filter (see [Generating Reports](/v414/docs/report-generation)). Note: Each Main Screen, has different key parameters that can be filtered for the export.
- Select one or more rows in the grid.
- Click on the *Export* button, in the toolbar, to open the Export window.
