export spreadsheet of products from actinic into excel

[LouPhi]

Hi
I am building an Actinic 9 site for a customer who previously used other ecommerce software. His excel spreadsheet has various different headings which are NOT the same as those in the Actinic spreadsheet...

What I need to do is export what I've already manually input into Actinic to a spreadsheet so that we can then manipulate the older spreadsheet into the correct format (taking into account product options etc, so presumably we need the hierarchical export/import??)

I hope this makes sense, and that someone knows how I can do this!

Thanks

In Actinic File menu select Export and you will have an hierarchical export of the catalog which you can open in Excel.

If you haven't already then I would recommend you also read about flat file and hierarchical files and their formats in the help.
