I said: “.. if you want to stop using Xero, it’s relatively simple to get your data out in formats that can be used by other systems” The word “relatively” is carefully chosen. We know that the export functionality that Xero provides is not perfect, but we believe that it is better, in relative terms, than what some providers offer. It is certainly better than the Facebook model where export is nigh-on impossible. A more fully-featured export tool is on our roadmap. Regards, Matt (not Mark!). Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the feedback on my post. I said:

The word “relatively” is carefully chosen. We know that the export functionality that Xero provides is not perfect, but we believe that it is better, in relative terms, than what some providers offer. It is certainly better than the Facebook model where export is nigh-on impossible.

A more fully-featured export tool is on our roadmap.
