3.35. Descriptions left out when printing to an excel file?

When we print the invoice to an excel-file, all descriptions are left out. How can we fix this? We don't have the problem when printing to PDF-format.

There is a known issue with descriptions not transfering over when printing to an excel file. A fix is likey to be implemented in EstiMate V.2.

In the meantime print to an xhtml file and in Excel click File > Open > Web Page. This way the description should all come thru. You may need to create a macro to format the data but this should effectively get all the information into Excel.

We have been using EstiMate for a few years now and absolutely love the software - we run the Enterprise Multi-User version and find it brilliant and so simple to use. We are able to turn around accurate consistent pricing very quickly and manage our factory work flow using one piece of software which helps us streamline our business. Mark and his team have always exceeded our customer service expectations and delivered basically 24hour / 7 day service for us – hence the reason we upgraded to Estimate 2011 – this new version is fantastic! We love the customer dashboard and purchase order facility. We look forward to moving forward with Estimate and know they will be adding further development / features that will enhance our business.
