You can specify a date range, the file name you wish to export
as, the delimiter (marker) for each field and that indicates string
values (non-numeric / text as opposed to numbers). You can
optionally include the full order details field (text of the
confirmation email to customer stored in the system) and incomplete
orders (orders where the status checkbox 'complete' is not yet
checked to indicate the order has been fully
processed).
The file format is CSV -
comma-separated values. This is a text format which spreadsheet
programs such as MS Excel and Libre Office Calc can open. If you
find data shows up in the spreadsheet with single quotes around
values, try exporting again but select a double-quote as the 'string
delimiter'.
