How do I save my cataloged comics as a CSV text file?

[Christopher Walsh]

I am using the most current iteration of Comicbase, the 2023 program which just updated to 2024.  I'm wondering how to convert my saved comics as a CSV file to export the data to a spreadsheet.  Sorry, I'm not super tech savvy so not sure how to convert my files to the CSV format.

What is your edition? Express, Professional, Archive?

The reason I ask is the Archive and Professional have both Import and Export capability. Express only has one of those (and I don't remember which).

Check under menu item File and see if Export is available.

If it is, I would strongly suggest using TAB separated text as the Comma separated has a few problems.

If you don't happen to have Export capability, If you do Find for all your issues (Qty >= 1), you can select / hi-light all the fields in the grid view then use windows CTRL+C to copy it and then CTRL+V to paste it into the spreadsheet.

If you need more details, let me know where you need clarification.

I have Archive Edition with Export capability.

The process is fairly straightforward. Do you help with it or do you think you got it for now?

Pretty much select the fields you want, check Export only titles in Stock, and Include Field Headers (not required but adds the column names, change Item separator to TAB (you will have much less trouble) then click Export and it will ask you where to put the file.
