Download a financial statement as an Excel workbook

Keep report structure when moving the current statement into spreadsheet review.

Updated 2026-11-11

The statement download menu includes Excel workbook. Choose it when you want a spreadsheet file from the current report instead of copying individual cells. Confirm the report's company, source, basis and date range before downloading.

Open the workbook and review its headings, periods and account rows. Preserve the exported report values as the recorded result. If you add formulas or review comments, keep them clearly separate so a later reader can distinguish source figures from your own calculations.

Workbook edits do not post changes to Institution Books or a connected accounting provider. Use account drilldown to investigate an amount, then make any supported correction through the correct accounting workflow. Re-export after posting if the review needs the updated statement.

When comparing two workbook versions, check whether their source dates, basis or filters differ before focusing on the amounts. A live report refreshed after a new journal can legitimately change. Keep enough context in the review file to explain which company and accounting period each workbook represents.
