It's quite easy to build an exporting function with a web server, if you
can use that.

You can see one in action here :

https://as-pro.biz/clients/login?nom_utilisateur=demo-mfp&mot_de_passe=demo-mfp

Go into 'Statistiques' from the left menu.
Check any checkbox next to 'Tableaux' (Menu 1, Menu 2...)
Click on 'Envoyer'

You can download the data in csv format for each table displayed by
clicking into its header.

This is an Apache web server using mod_perl to connect to a postgresql
database. The module can be written in a day if you know the language
(you can use others), the apache web server has a learning curve at
first.
