## About

= Advanced data export to Excel Open XML (XLSX) spreadsheet file format =

Exporting form submissions with multiline fields normally ends up with merged columns and manual corrections. Another possible problems are visitors typing your csv seperator into one of your input fields, causing a column shift in your CSV file.

Ninja Forms Spreadsheet Export has two features to bypass these problems


  1. export your data to the reliable Excel Open XML (XLSX) spreadsheet file format 
  2. choose the fields you want to appear in your exported Excel file.
