I can export advancement for our Girls Troop and Crew, but the Boys Troop file is just HTML info in excel and not an actual excel list like the others.

i could do that though I don’t have a previous version of the file to use. I usually delete the old file when I download the new as a best practice. Apparently a better practice would be to delete after successful upload :slight_smile:

Thanks, @edavignon sorry to be difficult but I am struggling with how 85 entities would be more than a trivial fix. Thanks again for taking the time to respond! I appreciate your efforts and patience.

@AmandeepBawa - it is those scouts and all advancement data. That is what the export includes

I would be inclined to retain N and N-1 at least, when downloading N+1, just to have some ability to check data integrity over time. The files aren’t that large, even for a fairly large unit.

@AndersMonsen This is a known issue. It is in the development backlog. We do not know if or when the BSA will scheduled it for development work.

Let me start by saying I’ve read the entire thread, and I realize the fix for the bug is in the backlog, and it may or may not ever be prioritized. I also recognize that the folks working this forum are volunteers, and I appreciate everyone’s effort. I have one question and then an observation. I…
