@karelle_heathcote There are a few different ways to export the results of a SOQL query to an Excel file, depending on the programming language and tools you are using.

  • One way to do this is to use the Salesforce Data Export Service, which allows you to schedule regular exports of your data to a CSV file. Once the export is complete, you can open the CSV file in Excel and save it as an Excel file.
  • Another way to do this is to use the Salesforce Apex Data Loader tool, which allows you to export data from Salesforce to a CSV file. Once the export is complete, you can open the CSV file in Excel and save it as an Excel file.
  • You can also use a library that can export SOQL query results to an Excel file, such as the simple-salesforce library in Python, which has a built-in method for exporting query results to a CSV file.
  • You can also use a third party tool such as Talend, Jitterbit, Informatica, etc which can export query results from Salesforce to Excel.
