Magento – Export configurable products with associated simples in one csv

configurable-productcsvimportexportmagento-1.9

I'm not quite sure how this is done. I want to export a csv with configurable products along with the associated products. Then I would like to import them over on another magento install. How is this done? and is there a way around getting an extension? I have already tried

but that didn't work.

I believe you can find the information you need in Magento's user manual:

There should be no need for any 3rd party modules to achieve such.

Magento – Associate Products to Categories after Export CSV

To associate products with categories in Dataflow you'll need two pieces of data:

Sku (Configurable, Simple, doesn't matter)
The target Category IDs

The field for the category IDs needs to be comma-separated itself, so make sure it's quoted if you're manually creating it:

sku,category_ids
ABCD1234,"1,2,3,4,5"
L0S7,"4,8,15,16,23,42"

Save it to disk as a .csv file, and you can upload it to the All Products Import default dataflow profile. This will replace all current categories for the skus listed, so take caution and make sure to get a list of pre-existing category associations.
