How to export expense reports as CSV

AZ Money Manager can create CSV reports from your income and expense records. CSV files are useful when you want to review spending in a spreadsheet, keep a backup, share a date range with someone else, or do your own analysis outside the app.

Create a report

  1. Open AZ Money Manager.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Select Reports.
  4. Press the add report button.
  5. Enter a report name.
  6. Choose a date range.
  7. Save the report.

After you save, AZ Money Manager generates a CSV file for the selected date range. When the report is ready, it appears in the Reports list with a CSV icon.

The exported CSV uses one row for each transaction in the report date range. The file includes columns for date, time, type, description, amount, category, account, and optional color. When you open the CSV file in a spreadsheet app, it looks like a table.
