How To Export a List from Salesforce

‍

Salesforce doesn't offer an option to export lists. However, there is a workaround if you want to export a list for your use.

1. Firstly, you will need to switch to the Salesforce Classic to carry this out. To do so, head over to the profile icon on the top right.
2. And click on Switch to Salesforce Classic.
3. Now, you are in the classic view. You can choose whichever list you want to export.
4. In our case let's choose Contacts from the menu bar on the top.
5. Make sure the dropdown on the top says "All Contacts" and hit Go.‍
6. Click on the Print sign on the top right.
7. A print preview page with all your list items will open in a new tab.
8. Select a high number of records to be viewed on one page. We went with 1000 records.
9. Hit Cmd+A or Ctrl+A on your keyboard to select everything on the screen. And copy it with Cmd+C or Ctrl+C.
10. Open a new Google Sheet and paste your copied items. You will need to delete the top few rows to clean up your list.

And this is how you can export a list from Salesforce.
