Data Tables

Pull complete datasets from Xero as Excel tables. Unlike formulas (which return single values), tables give you full lists of invoices, contacts, accounts, and more - ready for filtering, sorting, and analysis.

Tables vs Formulas

Use Tables when:

  • You need complete lists (all invoices, all contacts)
  • You want to filter and sort in Excel
  • You need transaction details for analysis

Use Formulas when:

  • You need specific values (account balance, contact email)
  • You're building calculations
  • You want data in specific cells

How to Insert a Table

  1. Open the XO Report task pane
  2. Click Tables and Reports tab
  3. Select a table type from the dropdown
  4. Choose your organizations (multi-select supported)
  5. For transaction tables, select a date range
  6. Choose columns to include
  7. Click Insert Table

Reference Data Tables

Transaction Tables

Transaction tables require a date range and support status filtering.

Multi-Organization Support

When you select multiple organizations, data is combined into one table with OrgID and OrgName columns for filtering.

Table Refresh

Click anywhere in your table and use the Refresh Table button to get the latest data. Your date presets (like "Last Month") are re-calculated and custom columns you added are preserved.
