Export Visuals
You can export your visuals in a variety of formats, as an image or as data. Exported visuals enable you to share your data with others.
When exporting, be aware that special characters are not supported. If your visual title, visual name, or the name of the data source contains special characters, you need to update the name before continuing.
Visuals can be exported in the following formats:
- PNG Screenshot (as an image)
- PDF file (as an image)
- Raw data (as a CSV file)
- Aggregate visual data (as a CSV file)
If a table has been grouped, you cannot export its raw or visual data.
