I want my Firebase database in Excel sheets. I have all these children: Names, Branch, Batch, College as attributes of all users. I want to export these in Excel Sheets.
Here's an example of items in the database:
And this is how I want the Excel Sheet to look:
Export your firebase to JSON. Just click the settings on the right of your database.
Then, convert the JSON to CSV. There are a lot of csv converter online. You can try https://json-csv.com/. Save the csv and open with Excel.
I would like to explain more Since its unclear to some people.
Step 1. Select Realtime Database (You won't find any download button in Cloud Firestore). for that, Select Database > Realtime Database
Step 2. In there, you'll find a three-dotted button in the right top corner. Select your option (Import/ Export)
In the firebase database, you can see export to JSON file, When you export it download it and then use an online converter to change to excel file.
All the answers here are mentioning online converter tools. You can also use Excel's built-in data importer. I found it useful when I have to export it in a excel table.
Say I have the following data:
Similar like other answers, click the triple dot > Export JSON..
Then, open Excel. Go to Data > Get Data > From File... > From JSON
Then, click on Into Table
Click, Close and Load
Result:

I have a spreadsheet that is using power query in a data connection to execute modelling on CSV files that have more than 2M rows.
This works fine and I can run analysis on this data as needed.
However, now I want to export the resulting data after all the manipulations have been made.
I can't see a way to export the data query result without outputing to a sheet... which I can't... because the row count is >1M.
Can I export the data without outputting to a sheet/multiple sheets?
If so, what tool would I need (if any) and what are the general steps?
I've been trying to work this out on my own for months but I have to recognise my limitations and ask for help now.
Many thanks in advance.

You need to use an external tool like DAX Studio (free) to connect to the Power Pivot data model and export the tables to CSV.
https://daxstudio.org/
As David mentioned above, Dax Studio will output the results of the data model.
Steps as follows:
Download and install the Dax Studio plugin for excel
Make sure the connection you are trying to extract is in the data model.
Launch Dax Studio.
!!!Dax Studio will only be able to read your data if you launch it from the Add-ins tab of Excel. This is the only data source type where access to the data is dependent on how Dax Studio is launched. Again, YOU MUST LAUNCH THIS FROM THE ADDINS MENU OF THE EXCEL DOCUMENT CONTAINING YOUR QUERY/CONNECTION.
A dialogue box will appear. It should show data source "Power Pivot Model" as the radio selection. If it is greyed out, it means that you have not added your query/connection to the data model.
Select "Connect". You will now see all the tables in your data model on the left hand side and may now extract to csv.
I am making a form app. Admin creates a form and then users can fill the form. Questions and answers are saved to Firebase Firestore. This is how my Firestore looks like.
After users fill the form, I want to enable admin to download Excel file by pressing "Download" button. Excel file would contain picked form (I can access to form by formID) with all questions and answers of that form.
EDIT: If it's not possible to export in Excel, CSV would also be acceptable
Firebase doesn't provide a built-in option for this issue, you have to build this on your own by following these steps when the admin invokes the download button:
Get the desired form data from Firestore.
Use an excel package(excel/syncfusion_flutter_xlsio) to write the extracted data from the above step to an excel sheet.
Use share package to give the admin the option to view, save and share the extracted excel file from the above step. (optional)
I have several DBISAM Database tables, I can read them and edit them. But when I export the Data to an excel spreadsheet it doesn't export the MEMO fields located in the table. Does anyone know of a way to export the MEMO fields so i do not have to open them individually and copy and paste them to an Excel spreadsheet?
I have googled my problem and have found no solution. There was one solution, to purchase an export tool from a company overseas but the website seemed sketchy to me and I am trying to find a free way to do this.
Elevated software says they cant export MEMO fields because they don't read right when importing to other programs.
I'm hoping someone has found another way...I have Tens of thousands records that I need to export so this would save me a lot of time if there were a way.
After talking with "elevate software" they indicated that this column was incorrectly setup as a memo to store images should have been setup as a BLOB type instead to properly work with images and scans. I copied the needed columns into a new temp table and altered the memo type to BLOB in the new table so as not to disrupt the old table. I then exported this table to mssql via the mssql import export wizard and the images came across correctly. I used an ssis job to then extract those to individual files and can view and work with the images as needed. It may be an extra step to goto mssql and then excel, but might work.
I have an Excel sheet of all my data (thousands and thousands of rows). How do I get that "loaded" into Firebase to be used?
I've created a Firebase project and tried to look at some tutorials for the realtime database but that's not quite what I want. I don't want real-time data quite yet. I just want data that I have to be loaded in first. How do I go about doing that?
Thanks!
I figured this out on my own.
First, take the Excel spreadsheet and clean it up in such a way that the first row contains the headers and everything else is the actual data. Remember that Firebase keys (which correspond to column headers) must be UTF-8 encoded which means that it cannot contain . $ # [ ] / or ASCII control characters 0-31 or 127.
Then, save it as a CSV file. For example, on Excel 2013 it would be: File > Export > Change File Type > CSV.
Then, visit various resources online that can do CSV to JSON conversion. The one I used was: http://codebeautify.org/csv-to-xml-json
Finally, take that .json file and load it into the Firebase database. Voila!
STEPS TO UPLOAD COUNTRY LIST IN FIREBASE:
download country list with country code, currency code and currency name what you require:
convert it into csv.
convert csv into json from (https://codebeautify.org/csv-to-xml-json#).
validate json from https://jsonlint.com/
save in a file say test.json.
open firebase with login.
select database.
click on (...) in verticle, beside + - sign,
click on import.
browse and select test.json file
import
now it is great!!!!!!! cheers!
I have a report that I need to update in Excel many times a day using statistics from JIRA. If I can import these directly with code I would save a lot of time and effort.
Is it possible to use a saved JIRA filter in conjunction with the REST API function to import the results to Excel using a VBA macro?
This is a solution does not use REST API, but it may work for you. This is a workaround I am using so far and it works:
Run the Filter in Jira
Export the result list into an excel file using the Export CSV file with the option current field (to avoid having unnecessary fields) and with the right button of mouse select: Open in a new window
Now you will see the URL associated with your filter in a new window of your browser. Your filter is represented by a Filter ID, therefore the query will be always the same.
Go to excel and use the URL as a hyperlink
Every time you click on the hyperlink it will download the file from Jira. You need to have a Jira open sesion in your browser.
Create a VBA marco that click on the hyperlink for downloading the file.
Use Power Query for example for loading the file from the download folder location into a worksheet. Power Query is a new excel feature. Power Query is an ETL tool integrated into excel for loading files and processing them.
The steps 6-7 automates the process. Run the Marco for downloading the file and refresh the content of your worksheet from Data Connection. You can have an additional macro that refreshes the content of the worksheet. It refreshes all pivot tables and the file connection for reading the file.
Hint: Use excel Table for keeping the information updated automatically when additional information is loaded into the worksheet. If you use pivot tables for presenting the data, use as data source an excel table instead of excel range.
It minimizes a lot the manual effort.
Here you can find a solution that uses REST API, the author provides the source code, but it is more complicated. If you need something simple, my solution may work for you.
