In LCR, Other -> Access Table will show which callings have access to which features. However, I don't see "custom" anywhere in the table. Do you perhaps mean custom reports in MLS?

The option is called 'Create Reports' in the 'Reports' section. I's only available to the bishopric, ward clerk (not assistants) and exec sec and similar callings at the stake level.

If you access LCR using the Chrome browser there is a Chrome extension that will copy a table on a website to Excel or Google Sheets. I’ve found it very helpful for this issue.

I believe only the ward clerk has the ability to create custom reports.

And the Bishop and his counsellors! Also the Exec Secretary!

Thanks this was very useful

The way I do it that works quite well is to pull a list of expenses (under the expense summary tab) I want (say welfare provided for a specific family). Then I right mouse click and select Print, then save/print as a PDF. I then use a free pdf to Excel converter which converts it to Excel. This captures 95% of the data and requires minor formatting to make "whole".

Another way is to use the Data > Get Data > From File > From PDF function inside Excel

If you open the 'notes' app in windows, and highlight a data table in LCR, then paste it to 'notes', then copy that from notes into excel it will populate as a table.

My is missing the attendance status with this method. Adobe pdf-to-Excel convertor works better, but it produces little images for the status instead of checkboxes.
