I didn't test the processes with other applications (only Excel) but I would imagine that you could achieve similar results. Despite these shortfalls, you will be able to get GnuCash data into Excel with considerably less typing and less risk of error than through manually re-typing it all. And using either import method, it's worthwhile checking that all the numbers ended up in the correct Excel column (the column totals at the bottom of my Trial Balance report were displaced one column to the left of where they should have been). Pretty disappointing to fail like this before it even gets started. It goes through the various stages, and I can see my import data being processed, but when I hit the final APPLY button, the program just closes with no message - nothing.
This makes it easy to convert from other personal finance applications, including Quicken, which it was created to replicate. Like another user, I could not even get gnuCash to import the QIF file from my existing program (MoneyDance).
The application implements a double-entry bookkeeping system and can import a variety of popular open and proprietary file formats, including QIF, QFX, OFX, CSV, and more. That software requires either a CSV file or a QIF file for importing. The formatting of the pasted/imported text may be different (probably worse) than it was in GnuCash. GnuCash is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Let us say you are trying to migrate to another accounting and bookkeeping software. Just run the screen report in GnuCash, use your mouse to select all the text, then paste into an empty Excel worksheet. You can also do a direct copy/paste into Excel. I did it using "Get Data - from Text/CSV" on the Excel "Data" ribbon, but there may be smarter ways to import it. If you export your Trial Balance (or another report) as an HTML file, it is possible to import this HTML file into Excel. However, I can offer a couple of workarounds:
GnuCash is not great at exporting your data in a format designed for import into another application.

GnuCash has a reasonable range of reports but they are primarily designed to be displayed on-screen, exported to PDF or printed to paper.
