Exporting Invoice Descriptions

We have a lot of invoices where information has been typed into the Description field - some have been entered beside an item, others with no items as shown

I'm needing to extract all information from the description - either as a report, IIF export or any other way.

Is this possible and if so how?


Thanks

    Copy and paste doesn’t work - pasting to possibly a word document?

    Thanks Kris - copy/paste does work - but I'm needing to extract from several hundred invoices over a period of time.

    Happy to look at options like cData ODBC if anyone can confirm it would work for this ?

    Hi @Alex_10836088

    I can create a script to export invoices within a range for you and extract the description fields to a text file (CSV or XML) so that you can use it.

    Please email me if you are interested.

    Thanks,

    Just following up on needing to pull invoice line data over several months - not a task i wanted (or even could) do manually.

    Phuong was amazing and quickly prepared a script/tool that allows me to pull data out as i need it - even tweaked changes afterward to get it working just right.

    Phuong is highly recommended and easy to work with - thanks Phuong :)
