Hi,

1. They work fine on our end. It's maybe something else on your website which results on that problem. Or maybe you don't have the latest version ? I remember a similar issue in previous versions of HikaShop. In that case you should update.
Note that you can always create a new report in order to start afresh.

2. There is nothing to export in a table report. You could simply copy/paste the text of the table if you want to export it... So that why you get an error message.

Regarding 1: I checked another browser to see if that was the cause but whenever I click either the bin or edit icon, it brings up a fresh lightbox to create a new row, it does not allow me to delete or edit the existing row. I will start a new table and try not to make any mistakes. Where is this new custom report information stored? Can I edit it in a database somewhere?

On second issue: I was hoping that the rows and totals generated in the table could be exported. I used to get something similar in Virtuemart.

Hi,

1. The reports can be created via the menu Orders-&gt;Reports. They are stored in the hikashop_widget table in the database.

2. You can simply create a new report listing the data you want and export that one.

The orders reports that are exported only contain the email address of the customer. I would like to add the customers first name and last name and a custom field I created to the report. This is so I can sort the list alphabetically in Excel for when customers collect their orders.
I'm not sure how to do this as this data comes from a different table.

That's indeed quite complex to do as you need to add a left join to the listing query of the widget.
That can't be done in an override easily so you'll have to modify the code around line 900 of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/widget.php
Maybe with something like that:
$leftjoin[] = ' LEFT JOIN '.hikashop_table('address').' AS b ON a.'.$address.'=b.address_id';
$select.='b.*,';

before the line:
$select.='a.*';
