Import and export
Moving data in and out with Excel, and producing iXBRL for VSME.
Import and export is reached from the report's own navigation, at Import / Export. What is offered depends on the standard the report follows.
Exporting an ESRS report
- Export Excel report: the report data as a spreadsheet.
- Export Excel report + attachments (ZIP): the same spreadsheet plus every attached file, as one archive.
The Excel export is also a valid import file, so exporting, editing offline and importing back is a supported round trip.
Importing into an ESRS report
Import is only available while the report is Active.
Get the template
Download the template from the import panel, or use a previous export of the same report as your starting point.
Fill it in
Work in the spreadsheet as usual. Do not change the identifier columns; they are how the import knows which data point each row belongs to.
Upload it
Choose Import Excel file and pick your file. On success you get a confirmation. If some rows could not be read, a table lists them with the row number, disclosure and paragraph, so you can fix those rows and import again.
Exporting a VSME report
VSME reports export to the machine-readable format the standard expects:
- Export iXBRL file: the tagged report on its own.
- Export all data + iXBRL (ZIP): the iXBRL file together with the report data and attachments.
Excel import is not offered for VSME reports.
