The contents of the file are this: WEB 1 goes here Selection=3 Formatting=Rich Text DisableRedirections=False. 'CSV' stands for 'Comma-Separated-Values', meaning that columns are separated with commas in the file. For Excel to read this and convert.

By: Updated: 2010-04-14 Related: ProblemI find it easier to analyze data using Excel. Is there a way to export my SharePointList or Library metadata? SolutionYes.The example below shows a SharePoint list presented in a web part zone addedto a site page. For aesthetics, it is presented with a cleaner look using the 'SummaryToolbar', rather than the 'Full Toolbar'. However, to access the Excel export option,a user must open the full list. This is easy to do by clicking on the web part title,in this case 'Helpdesk Progress'.

The iqy file is not a static file. The SharePoint data is not stored in the.iqyfile. This is 'Web Query File' and refreshes the SharePoint data every time yourun it. It's a great feature, but don't forget, if you are not connected to thenetwork (and if you don't have permissions) you won't get the data.If you need to save a snapshot (a point in time) of the SharePoint data you should'Save As' an Excel Workbook (or some other static format). You would also need to'Save As' a workbook if you were sharing information with an external user (i.e.outside the organization). Save the.iqy file if you want to rerun the export with fresh data withoutgoing through the 'Export to Spreadsheet' procedure (described above). 'Save As' an Excel Workbook, if you need a static copy of the data.

Theworkbook will NOT refresh new data. Only the web query (.iqy) file can.Document libraries can also be exported to Excel, however, the export will notcontain the document. In it's place a link to the document is available. Next Steps.
