Crystal allows you to **export** your data outside Crystal.
You can **download** your Topics and **share** them with your co-workers by either sending them via mail, adding them in your own presentations, or using them as you need.
In particular, Crystal offers **two options** for downloading Topics.
## Download as Excel
Click on the *"Download Excel"* button, which you can find in the menu on the top right of the Topic Card. You will be be able to download *the datase*t underlying a Topic in *Excel forma*t.
In the exported Excel file, you will find:
* Sheet 1, containing the information about the Topic (Topic Title, Applied Filters, Time Range)
* Sheet 2, containing the data inside the Topic Chart.
Once you have it, you can share it or further analyze it autonomously.
{% hint style="info" %} **Please Note**
The Excel Download option is available for *every* Topic, regardless of their Topic Objective.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %} **Remember**
When clicking on the "Download Excel" button for the first time, you’ll have different outcomes based on the dimensions of the Excel file you want to download:
* For *smaller Topics* (e.g. Donut Gauge, Highlight), the download will happen instantly and you will immediately find the downloaded Excel straight from the browser (with 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 and you will receive a [notification](/crystal-advisor/access-to-crystal/how-to-interact-with-crystal/notifications.md) when the file is available.
{% endhint %}
## Download as PDF
Click on the *"Download PDF"* button, 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.
{% hint style="info" %} **Please Note**
The PDF Download option is available for every Topic, *except* those pertaining to Objectives *List, Ranking, and Description.*
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %} **Remember**
When clicking on the "Download Excel" button for the first time, you’ll have different outcomes based on the dimensions of the Excel file you want to download:
* For *smaller Topics* (depending on download latency), the download will happen instantly and you will immediately find the downloaded PDF straight from the browser (with 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 and you will receive a [notification](/crystal-advisor/access-to-crystal/how-to-interact-with-crystal/notifications.md) when the file is available.
