Exporting Requests to CSV or Excel

Exporting Requests to CSV or Excel

Pull request data into any spreadsheet tool.

Last updated: Jun 11, 2026

DiscountFlow lets you export request data to CSV for use in spreadsheet tools, reporting pipelines, or external record-keeping. CSV files open directly in Excel, Google Sheets, and most other spreadsheet applications.

Exporting a Single Request

To export one request as a CSV:

  1. Open the request detail page.
  2. Click the Export dropdown in the page header.
  3. Select Export as CSV.
  4. The file downloads immediately to your browser’s default download location.

The exported file contains the request details and all line items for that request.

Exporting Multiple Requests

To export a filtered set of requests at once:

  1. Go to the Requests list.
  2. Apply any filters or status tabs to narrow down the requests you want to export.
  3. Click Export in the top-right area of the list (next to the view toggle).
  4. Select Export as CSV.

The exported file includes all requests currently visible in the list — the active filters and status tab determine what’s included. If you want to export all requests, switch to the All tab and clear all filters before exporting.

What’s Included in the Export

The CSV export contains one row per line item, with columns for:

| Column | Description |

|---|---|

| Request ID | Internal unique identifier |

| Request Name | The name given to the request |

| Request Type | The type selected when the request was created |

| Status | Current status of the request |

| Submitted By | Name of the submitter |

| Date Submitted | Date and time the request was submitted |

| Product Name | Name of the product on that line item |

| Quantity | Number of units |

| List Price | Standard catalog price per unit |

| Requested Price | Discounted price per unit requested |

| Discount % | Calculated discount percentage |

| Extended List | `List Price × Quantity` |

| Extended Requested | `Requested Price × Quantity` |

Requests with multiple line items will appear as multiple rows, with the request-level fields (name, type, status, submitter) repeated on each row.

Opening the File in Excel

If the CSV file opens as unformatted text in Excel, use File → Import and set the delimiter to comma. Alternatively, rename the file extension from 

.csv
 to 
.xlsx
 before opening, though this may not preserve all formatting — the import method is more reliable.

Google Sheets opens CSV files directly without any extra steps.
