Open **Report > Attendance Report > View Report**. 2. Choose the report (Daily Total, Transactions or Time Card). 3. Set dates and departments. 4. Click **Search**. 5. Click **Export** and choose Excel, CSV or PDF. 6. Save with a clear name such as *attendance-2026-10-sales.xlsx*. **Figure 1.** The Transactions report. ## Which format? - **Excel:** payroll calculations and filters. - **CSV:** import into another system. - **PDF:** signed copies and auditors. ## Tidy columns Hide columns you do not need before export, or delete them in Excel. Keep Employee ID, name, department, date, regular hours, late, early and overtime. ## Large files Export month by month or department by department if the file is huge. This also makes it easier for managers to read. ## Keep records Store exports with payroll for the retention period required by law. See [attendance and data protection](https://qyvea.co.ke/biometric-attendance-and-data-protection-kenya). Protect the files with a password, as they hold personal data. ## A typical scenario An HR officer exported the monthly summary to Excel, removed unneeded columns and added a payroll sheet with formulas. Password-protecting the file before emailing it kept staff data safe. *Illustrative example based on common cases, not a named customer.* ## Common mistakes - Exporting before calculating. - Sending unprotected files by email. - Leaving hidden sensitive columns. - Forgetting to name the period. - Editing the original export. ## Quick checklist 1. Calculate first 2. Filter correctly 3. Export 4. Tidy columns 5. Password-protect 6. Archive ## Frequently asked questions Does Excel export keep formulas? No, it exports values. Add your own formulas in Excel. Why does Excel show dates as numbers? Format the column as date or text in Excel. Can I schedule exports? Some versions can. Otherwise export at fixed times. Is the file safe to email? It contains personal data. Password-protect it and send only to people who need it.
