Output to Excel for custom reports

As you organize your camp, you will need to create special lists or rosters for some particular purpose. For example, these lists might include such things as morning attendance rosters, memory verse card progress.

TACO provides a host of standard reports available at the click of a mouse. The reports are generated automatically. You can preview them before you print them. 

But, not all camps are run or organized in the same way. So, rather than try to provide a comprehensive list with every possible configuration (an impossible task), TACO will output the entire camper list and counselor list to an Excel spreadsheet you can use to make reports you need.


CAMPER INFORMATION TO EXCEL

In the Print Reports Screen, select the "Camp Roster (Excel)" report. This report outputs almost all camper information to Excel: cabin number, counselor, camp, age, birthday, address, telephone number, etc. The file will be named Camp Roster.xls and can be found in the C:\My Documents folder.

Once in Excel, you can easily create your own customized reports.

In the Print Reports Screen the "Camper List to Excel (for Awards)" creates a second Excel file: Camper Listing Roster.xls in the C:\My Documents folder. This spreadsheet will list all campers with their camp, gender, color team, cabin number and counselor. It is a subset of the "Camp Roster (Excel)" spreadsheet described above.


COUNSELOR INFORMATION TO EXCEL

TACO also outputs all the counselors to Excel as well. The report "Activity Team Assignments (Excel)" lists all the counselors, color team, camp jobs, cabin assignment and gender. Just as with the camper list, you can create your own reports or rosters with Excel. As with the other two files, this file is also placed in the C:\My Documents folder.
