The custom field values are found in wp_bp_xprofile_fields table whereas the actual datum for each field is found in wp_bp_xprofile_data table.
As far as how to output the data, this should give you some ideas: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
Jeff you are a rockstar! Thanks again.
To follow up on this, the table you pointed out only has the default field “full name” not any of the custom fields I created. What am I missing?
I just went through this so I am a voice of experience.
Each additional profile field you add in the profile field setup is added to the xp_bp_xprofile_fields table. By default, there is only one field filled in on the wp_bp_xprofile_data table, which is the “full name.” Once you or someone else begins to add their additional information and hits save, the data table will expand and in a strange albeit normal way. The id of the user, say ‘2’ will be listed repeatedly, as they have multiple pieces of information stored. The id of the table counts sequentially, so you’ll begin to see that number grow exponentially.
Hope that helps.

I see what you mean. I put the date field in the custom forms for birth date and instead of something simple like 12281977 (for dec, 28 1977) I get 252133200. What is the basis of decrypting this number?
that’s computer language for a date in history. can’t explain it but it is present in microsoft excel among other places
The time is stored in UNIX time, which is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC.
So, you basically have 8 years minus three days. Which is ((8 years-3 days) * 365.25 days in a year * 86,400 seconds in a day) = 252,201,600
Now, this is slightly off since I have no idea what time you actually posted that date data. But, it’s close enough to show you how it’s done.
Hey 4yrs and 8 months later I’m finding myself looking for this solution although this link is 404’ing “https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/”. Is this still something supported?
Thx, wrm
