Export Data to a CSV File

You can export the data table in an analysis to a spreadsheet in comma-separated values (.csv) format. All filters that are applied to the data table are preserved in the exported analysis.

As a best practice, select a precise segment of data to limit the size of the spreadsheet:

• Apply hardware filters to the logical ports you defined.
• Apply filters to the data views you selected.
• Select a relatively small time period using the Time Period selector.

Follow these steps:

1. Display the data that you want to export:
   1. Click a data view in the Analysis pane.
   2. Apply more filters or sort the data table by a selected column.
2. Click Export, To CSV.

   The Export To CSV dialog opens.

3. (Optional) Type the maximum number of data table rows to export in the Export Row Limit field. Or, select No Limit to export all rows in the data table from the selected time period.
4. Click OK.

   The File Download dialog opens.

5. For fastest download times, click Save.

   Note: We do not recommend the option to open the file. The download takes longer when you select this option while attempting to export a large amount of data.

6. Enter or browse to the file save location, and click OK.

   The selected details are exported to a file with a .csv file extension. The process can take a few minutes to complete, depending on the amount of data available in the database and the row limit you supplied.
