I mean the data which is available in a particular thread/forum to be exported to excel for easier accessibility and tracking purpose.
For example, currently we can see the data in a forum like as in the attached snapshot1:
But if we want to know how many questions are there in total in this particular forum we will have to manually count the number of questions which is really tedious.
However if we had the “export to excel” functionality made available, we could easily pull out the entire data from this forum into an excel sheet and can perform multiple functions like: filtering the posts only by such and such author and attempting only those questions etc. as shown in the attached snapshot2(in which I have filtered only on the questions from Bunuel and Toughguy and I know I have to do 3 questions in total which are by these guys).
As far as I know export to excel functionality is easily available in a website and may be in this case it is only available to the moderators of this website and not to every user. If only this option can be made open for all users it will be really convenient for us. I'm sure the moderators are pulling out the data which they display in excel formats by using that functionality only and not by manually copying that data and pasting(and formatting etc.) into excel sheets ..
