If you'd like to have select information on a specific set of records from your CRM, exporting reports is the solution for you. When you export a report, you can customize the results with appropriate filter criteria and also choose the columns you'd like to view in your exported CSV file. 

Here's how you do it,

1. Click theicon on your left panel and click.
   
   
2. Choose the category of reports (Leads, Contacts, Accounts or Deals) you like to use. A list of reports under that category is displayed.
   
   
3. Click the report that you like to export.
   
   
4. If you want to export the data generated by the report right away, click Export as CSV.
   
   Alternatively, you can also export it in PDF format. However, the number of columns present in the report depends on the file size.  
   
   
5. To customize the data in the report before you export it, click Edit Report.
   1. Under Filters & Grouping, alter the time period and the type of logic used (Quick or Advanced) by modifying the filter conditions included.
      
      
   2. To choose the columns you'd like to have in your exported CSV file, select Simple as the table type.
      
      
      1. Under Grouping fields, select the fields that you'd want as rows and select the fields that you'd want as columns.
         
         
      2. Click Preview Data when you're done. This brings up the table view.
         
         
      3. Click Add field and select the checkboxes you'd like to include as columns in your CSV.
         
         
      4. Click Add field and select the checkboxes you'd like to include as columns in your CSV.
         
         
      5. Click Save.
