Have you ever created a (process only) report to do data manipulation? Well, of course, you have? We all have 🙂 I decided to create a generic “report” that can handle all these different tasks. And if it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing, so here’s where I’m at right with the “extreme edition” of this. Check it out in this video:

Dynamics 365 Business Central: Save report dataset to Excel from the request page (Report Inspector)
As you might know, in Business Central and NAV windows client, we can view and save the report dataset from the preview page, similar to the page inspector.
