MT4 only has the ability to save trading reports as HTML files. Your right, CSV, XLS etc export would be a good idea. For now, we need to parse the output HTML files in order to load a database.
I just checked on the proposed features of MT5
here and I see that one feature is
Advanced built-in reports on all trading activities whatever that means. No specific details are given.
On another note, the public beta of MT5 started Tues Oct 13th as reported
here. Anyone, apparently, can get a copy of MT5 and try it out. But unless you are an MQL coder or have an EA for MT5, you cannot run any EA built for MT4
