Export PHPMyAdmin Database to Excel

Selecting the Table and Export Format

To start exporting your table from PHPMyAdmin to Excel, navigate to the PHPMyAdmin interface and select the table you wish to export. Click on the 'Export' tab to proceed with the export process. For a format compatible with Excel, choose 'CSV for MS Excel' from the available options.

Creating a New Excel File

After exporting the table data, open Microsoft Excel and create a new file. This file will be used to import the CSV data. Excel's 'Data' tab provides import functionality, which you'll use in the subsequent steps.

Importing Data into Excel

Within Excel, click on the 'Data' tab, then select 'From Text/CSV'. Locate and choose the CSV file you exported from PHPMyAdmin. Click 'Load' to import the data into your new Excel file. The columns will be automatically created to match the table structure of your database.

Adjusting CSV Delimiter

If necessary, the delimiter in the CSV file can be modified during the import process to ensure correct data formatting within Excel.

Alternative Export Method

Alternatively, you can use the SQL query 'SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE' in PHPMyAdmin to create a CSV file that includes the table structure, which can then be imported into Excel.
