Print and Export Discoveries

Data discoveries can be exported or sent to the job spooler, regardless of whether or not it's been saved. Any dynamic interactions applied at the time of export (like drill down, dice, sorting, filtering, slicer interactions, etc) will be reflected in the exported discovery.

  • Font Style: set the font type, size, color, and emphasis.
  • Add Element to Header: using the dynamic elements available, add page number, time, date, report name, and user name to the header or footer. By default, each dynamic element will be added to the 'Left Section' of the header or footer (see below for details). To add an element to the center or right section, click the field of the relevant section before selecting the required element.
  • Left Section: add the dynamic element or free text to the left section of the header or footer.
  • Center Section: add the dynamic element or free text to the center section of the header or footer.
  • Right Section: add the dynamic element or free text to the right section of the header or footer.

Note: headers and footers that have been configured will only appear in the output if they are enabled from the General tab.

Export to Excel

When exporting to Excel, each visualization is exported as a matrix grid to a separate Excel sheet (unless the exported visual is a tabular or raw results grid, in which case it will be exported as a flat grid). The sheet tab is named according to the report title, which is also added at the top of the Excel sheet.

For performance reasons, an evaluation based on the machine's memory takes place when exporting to Excel, limiting the amount of cells that can be exported:

  • On a 32G machine and above, the limit is 9M cells.
  • On a 24G machine, the limit is 7M cells.
  • On a 16GB machine, the limit is 5M cells.
  • On an 8GB machine or less, the limit is 3M cells

If the limit is reached, all cells will be exported to CSV, rather than Excel. Note that CSV is a flat/ raw grid format.
