Exporting data to Excel
NOTES:
 B2020 only exports the data that is currently being displayed.
Hidden elements will not be included in the output file;
 It is not possible to copy and paste to Excel large data sets.
In these cases, you should save the data in a .csv format and
then import it from Excel;
 Data displayed in B2020 can be later visualised in Excel as pivot
tables (sourcing the data from the file itself or from a .txt file);
 Files can also be saved as .csv, .txt and .dbf.
