How do I get the reports exported to excel in a user-friendly format - with data in separate columns?
Specifically looking for reports showing completion status per student.

@BeritJebjerg Could you provide more information about which exact reports you are trying to export and which information you are trying to see? When you write "completion", is this in regards to completion of module requirements, completion of total assigned content in the course, completion of specific assessments, etc.?
Hi @BeritJebjerg.
Most Canvas reports are downloadable as CSV files so that they can be opened and imported into a variety of applications (whether a plain-text editor or Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers or Google Sheets). If opened by Excel or Numbers, it is then possible to save it in a native file format for that program so that you can use all of the normal functionality that it supports.
As suggested by @james_whalley, what report are you talking about?
