  1. Click the Gradebook drop-down menu at the top and scroll down to the Export section. Select an option from under the Export section. Plain text (CSV) offers the greatest flexibility. It works well with Excel but, unlike the Excel Spreadsheet format, a CSV file can be used to import grades back into the Moodle gradebook.
