# Export data from a Chart’nX dashboard to a CSV file

Context: Chart’nX: saved dashboard in view mode, Export to CSV window, desktop or mobile

The **Export to CSV** window of a saved Chart’nX dashboard downloads the data of the panels and series you choose, over the period you want, in a file for spreadsheets or for data processing. The export creates a copy of the data: it does not modify the dashboard.

For users with view access to the dashboard, as well as administrators and installers. The export does not require switching to administration.

## Before you start

- The saved dashboard is open in view mode, with its charts and its period bar, [from Emergy’nX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/chart-open-emergy/) or [from Boss’nX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/chart-open-boss/). The export button exists neither in the **generator** nor in its preview tab.
- View permission is enough: do not request administrator rights only to export.

## Open the export window

1. Check the project and dashboard name in the Chart’nX header.
2. In the top bar, select the download icon shaped like a down arrow, tooltip **Export to CSV**. It is located near the **Shared Y scale** and **Timezone** controls.
3. In the **Export to CSV** window, check the dashboard name.

On a narrow screen, the panel selection and the settings follow one another vertically: scroll the window. The format settings are then grouped under **Advanced options**.

## Choose the panels and series

1. In **Panels to export**, check the panels you want under **Time series** and **Summaries**.
2. To take only some of a panel’s series, open it with the small chevron on the right of its row, then check the series you want. **overlay** rows that accompany regular series must be checked explicitly.
3. Beyond eight panels, the **Filter panels…** field appears: type part of the title you are looking for. **All** and **None** act on the panels visible with this filter; panels selected and then hidden remain selected.
4. Clear the filter to check the complete selection before continuing.

## Choose the format and the period

1. Choose **Excel report** for a CSV suited to spreadsheets, or **Raw data** for data processing. The differences and the detailed settings are described in [Choose the export format](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/chart-export-format/).
2. Under **Period**, check **From**, **To** and **Time step**. You can also choose **Displayed period**, **7 days**, **30 days** or **Previous month**. The end must be strictly after the start.

The date and time fields use the browser’s local time. The timestamp written in the file is a separate setting, among the format options.

## Start the export

1. Review the estimate at the bottom of the window, then select **Export**.
2. In **Export in progress…**, follow the number of panels retrieved. Once the data has been retrieved and the files generated, the download starts and the window closes.

Before starting, **Cancel** or the **Close** cross exits the window. During the export, **Stop all** interrupts the requests and returns to the settings.

## Check the result

Open your browser’s downloads. A single file is delivered directly; several files are grouped in a ZIP archive. Before using the result, check the dashboard name, the period and the units.

## Troubleshooting

If the export button is missing, go back to viewing the saved dashboard. For a grayed-out button, a missing panel, a partial export or a file you cannot find, follow the [export troubleshooting guide](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/chart-export-troubleshoot/).

If the expected dashboard or the button remains inaccessible, write to support@can-nx.com, stating the application from which you open Chart’nX.
