Start by logging into your Salesforce account. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to export data. Typically, you will need "Export Reports" and "Manage Public Reports" permissions.
Once logged in, go to the "Reports" tab located in the main Salesforce navigation menu. This is where you can create, view, and manage reports.
Click on "New Report" to begin creating a new report. You will be prompted to select a report type. Choose the type that corresponds to the data you want to export (e.g., Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities).
Customize the report by selecting the fields you want to include. Use the "Filters" pane to narrow down the data to be exported. Add any necessary groupings or summary fields by dragging and dropping them into the report.
After setting up your report with all desired fields and filters, click "Run Report" to generate the data. Review the report to ensure it contains all necessary information before proceeding to export.
Once satisfied with the report, click on the "Export" button typically located near the top-right corner of the report page. Choose the "Formatted Report" option if you want to maintain the report's layout, or select "Details Only" for raw data. Then, select "Excel Format" and click "Export" to download the file.
Open the downloaded Excel file on your computer. Review the data to ensure it matches your expectations. Save the file in your desired location for further use or manipulation.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Salesforce into an Excel file without the need for any third-party tools or integrations.

What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
