Export Topic
This page describes the Export Topic capability.
Crystal allows you to export your data outside Crystal.
You can download your Topics and share them with your colleagues, sending them via mail, adding them in your own presentations, or using them as you need.
In particular, Crystal offers you two options for downloading Topics.
Download as Excel
Click on the "Download Excel" button that you can find in the menu on the top right of the Topic Card: you will be be able to download the dataset underlying a Topic in Excel format.
In the exported Excel file, you will find:
a Sheet 1, containing the information about the Topic (Topic Title, Applied Filters, Time Range)
a Sheet 2, containing the data inside the Topic Chart
Once you have it, you can share it or further analyze it autonomously.
Please Note
The Excel Download option is available for every Topic, regardless of their Topic Objective.
Remember
When clicking on the "Download Excel" button for the first time, you’ll have different outcomes based on the dimensions of the Excel you want to download:
For smaller Topics (e.g. Donut Gauge, Highlight), the download will happen instantly: you will immediately find the downloaded Excel directly from the browser (getting a notification from the browser itself, if supported)
For larger Topics (e.g. Table, Multi-Line, Scatterplot), the download will start but will take some time to conclude: you will receive a notification when the file is available.
Download as PDF
Click on the "Download PDF" button that you can find in the menu on the top right of the Topic Card, right under the "Download Excel" button: you will be be able to download the Topic Chart image in PDF format.
In the exported file, you will find a PDF file containing a static version of the Topic Card, including Topic Title, Key Values, Filters, and other elements of the graph, if present. In other terms, you will find a copy of the Topic Card that is not interactive.
Once you have it, you can share it or use it in external documents.
Please Note
The PDF Download option is available for every Topic, except those pertaining to Objectives List, Ranking, and Description.
Remember
When clicking on the "Download Excel" button for the first time, you’ll have different outcomes based on the dimensions of the Excel you want to download:
For smaller Topics (depending on download latency), the download will happen instantly: you will immediately find the downloaded PDF directly from the browser (getting a notification from the browser itself, if supported)
For larger Topics (depending on download latency), the download will start but will take some time to conclude: you will receive a notification when the file is available.
Keep sharing data!
