What to expect from your export

• For PDF exports, you can export date range comparisons using Export. Other export types only export the first time frame.
• XLSX exports generate one workbook containing a separate worksheet for each metric type.
• CSV exports generate a ZIP file containing separate CSV files for each metric type.
• You cannot export Posts and Inbound messages metrics that are compared by Topics.
• Exports of team metrics tables (First responses, Overall responses, and Resolved assignments) include all responses and assignments.
• While table visualizations only display the latest 100 posts, the export includes a complete list of posts (with a maximum of 1000 posts for Amplify metrics, and 10,000 posts for all others), post IDs, and all metrics.
• Line, Area, and Column visualizations export daily values.
• Geo maps and Pie visualizations export the top three values, with the remaining values aggregated as ‘other.’
• List visualizations export values for each item in the list.
• XSLX and CSV exports of List visualizations include dedicated worksheets (for XSLX exports) and CSV files (for CSV exports) for each List tile. You can export a maximum of 20,000 breakdowns. If this limit is exceeded, we'll display 19,999 breakdowns, and add the rest as "Other".
• Numbers export the numeric value.
• Gauges export the numeric value for the first time period.
• You can't export Tables, Top posts, and Word cloud in PPTX format. In PDF format, tables display an image of the tile. In XLSX and CSV formats, Tables and Top posts are exported into a separate worksheet.

When scheduling an email export, you can choose to export your report weekly every Tuesday, or monthly every second day of the month. We schedule all exports for 10am GMT. You can export numerous reports and use different schedules. For example, you can set someone up to receive essential report information every week, while setting up another person, like an executive, can be set up to receive one report per month.
