I have an Advanced Find of Opportunities where I want to export and also see the GUID from the regarding Contact.

Is this possible?

Unfortunately not. You can't see the Guid in the CRM user interface. If you export the results to Excel, then you get the Guid of the primary entity (in this case Opportunity) in a hidden column, but not for related entities.

One alternative would be to create a Reporting Services report, and export the results of this report. If you do this, you control which fields are included, including the GUIDs

Hi ,

Is there any specific reason you need to display GUID ? Dynamics CRM GUID is for internal used ,so you can not view this id until and unless you write any programming customization.

However you can see the GUID from URL itself by press f11 of the regarding record. Make sure you click on popout icon( below screenshot) before press F11 in the browser.

You will get the url from the browser like below highlighted in pink inside %7b .... %7d

Hi,

You can't get it through OOB way.

You can write your custom code either Plugin/Javascript in order to get the GUID of selected record in Opportunity Regarding field and keep it in some custom field.

And Include that custom field while Exporting data.

Hope it helps.
