# How to export transactions

You can export financial transactions in the transaction journal in various formats. This allows you to process the data as an Excel or CSV file. In addition to the **default** format, ChurchTools also supports the **DATEV** and **SAGE 100** format.

You will find all formats under ***Export*** (1), which opens a drop-down menu that shows you all the options for exporting your transactions.

## Standard export

You can execute the ***standard export*** (2) as a CSV or Excel file. All information of the transaction(s) will be exported. The columns are named after the columns in ChurchTools.

**Note**

The export takes into account all the filter settings you have made in the transaction journal. If, for example, you have only displayed one month or a certain account, only these entries will be listed in the export.

## Other formats - SAGE 100 and DATEV

ChurchTools also offers you an export to the ERP software SAGE 100. You can also choose between CSV and Excel files. SAGE 100 can then import this file again.

The DATEV export is a standardised export in which the transaction data is prepared in special columns. You can use this export for all software products that support the DATEV format.
