Q: How can I export an event log into Excel. Event Viewer has export into CSV, but it doesn't export event details.

If you look at the CSV in Excel you don't see the details but if you open it with a text editor you can. So this CSV isn't going to work for you in Excel. I suggest saving the event log as an XML file and then see if you can get Excel to unravel it. Check out this site. Looks like fun. :rolleyes:

I think the OP is referring to the Windows operation system event log. I had the same question until I noticed the post was in the Windows forum.

You can write a Powershell script, but I used Event Log Explorer software for this:
