Salesforce Export Leads to Excel
Exporting leads directly into Excel is a common requirement for Salesforce users. Salesforce provides built-in features that allow for exporting data, including leads, into various formats such as CSV, which can then be opened with Excel.
- First, navigate to the 'Setup' section within your Salesforce dashboard.
- Search for 'Data Export' by using the 'Quick Find' box, then select 'Data Export' or 'Export Data'.
- Choose 'Schedule Export' or 'Export Now' depending on your preference. For immediate export, select 'Export Now'.
- Select the 'Lead' module and any other data you wish to export. Specify your file format preference, such as CSV.
- After configuring your export settings, click 'Start Export'. Salesforce will process your request, and you'll receive an email notification when your export file is ready to download.
This method is straightforward and utilizes Salesforce's built-in capabilities to generate a file that can be easily imported into Excel.

Export Sales Navigator Leads to Salesforce
For users of LinkedIn Sales Navigator, integrating and syncing leads directly into Salesforce can streamline lead management processes. While Sales Navigator does not offer a direct export to CSV or Excel, it allows for seamless integration with Salesforce, particularly for Sales Navigator Advanced Plus users.
- Ensure you have a Sales Navigator Advanced Plus subscription to access integration features.
- Sync your Sales Navigator account with Salesforce to automatically update lead and account information in real-time.
- Use the embedded profiles feature within Salesforce to view Sales Navigator insights directly in your CRM.
This integration not only enhances lead data accuracy but also saves time by eliminating the need to manually export and import lead information between platforms.
Salesforce Lightning Export Leads
Users of Salesforce Lightning have a streamlined process for exporting leads:
- Access the 'Setup' page in Salesforce Lightning.
- Use the 'Quick Find' box to search for 'Data Export' and select it.
- Click on 'Export Now' or 'Schedule Export' based on your needs.
- Select the 'Lead' module, configure your export preferences, and initiate the export.
- Check your registered email for a notification from Salesforce with a link to download the exported file.
This process is similar to the classic Salesforce interface but optimized for the Lightning experience, providing a user-friendly approach to data export.
Export Leads from Reports in Salesforce
Another method to export leads involves generating custom reports:
- In Salesforce, navigate to the 'Reports' tab and create a new report focused on leads.
- Customize the report with the necessary filters and fields.
- Once the report is configured, use the 'Export' option to download the report in your desired format, such as Excel or CSV.
This method offers flexibility in selecting specific lead data and customizing the output file according to your reporting needs.
