Which type of file cannot you export a custom report as?

Custom reports in accounting software often allow exporting in various formats suitable for data analysis and presentation. While CSV, Excel, and PDF formats are commonly supported due to their widespread use for data manipulation and sharing, text files are typically less suited for structured reports.

Exporting a custom report to a text file does not preserve the formatting and structure that a report usually entails. Unlike structured CSV or Excel formats, which maintain rows and columns that align with the report’s layout, a plain text file strips away that structure, making it inappropriate for conveying the detailed insights typically included in custom reports.

Thus, the restriction on exporting a custom report as a text file aligns with the need to maintain clarity and usability in data presentation essential for analysis and presentation purposes.
