Another very fast way to get your G/L transactions into Excel for analysis is to use GridView. Just Select the fields (account, dept, description, date, fiscal period, amount) from the Ledger Posted Transaction file, create a Filter to choose a specific account and/or fiscal period, and then click on the "Excel Direct" button on the GridView toolbar.

There is an evaluation version of GridView available for download off our website (just follow the link above).
