Hi All!

Was wondering if anyone knows a way to easily import a Lotus Notes database (.NSF) into Excel? I think there are utilities out there that will do it, but am looking into a one time use. Any help is appreciated!

TIA

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Never used Lotus Notes, so I don't know the structure, but... many programs can be persuaded to spit out something employing a commonly-used file structure (dBase) or a generic one (csv). Try matching your export (Lotus) with your import (Excel) capabilities.

Good luck.

It´s not an easy task because it´s subject to how the database is built-up and what kind of documents are stored in the database.

One possibly solution is to open the database in Lotus Notes, choose the command Files | Export and save it in the format "Tabular Text" (fixed widht).

Open it in XL and run the "Text to column-guide"

Good luck,

That worked great using the tabular text format. It may not have worked if I didn't have a program called Monarch. I was able to export it and open it in Monarch and manipulate it all over then finally send to Excel where it is needed. Thanks!!
