Read more about Data Workbench’s End-of-life announcement.

You can export the data in certain windows to an Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) or to a tab separated values file (.tsv).

Data is not exported from graphs, path browsers, process maps, scatter plots, and globes.

Export window data to Microsoft Excel

To export individual window data to Microsoft Excel, the following requirements must be met:

  • Microsoft Excel must be installed on the same machine as Data Workbench.
  • The user account under which the Data Workbench process is running must have permission to access Microsoft Excel.
  • When you export data as Excel files, you are opening a new instance of Excel.
  • Although Data Workbench supports more than 256 columns and 65,536 rows of data, versions of Microsoft Excel prior to 8.0 do not.

If these requirements are met, Data Workbench automatically starts Microsoft Excel and export the data to a new Excel workbook when you select the Export To Excel menu option.

To export window data to an .xls or .xlsx file

Right-click the top border of the window and click Export > Export to Excel.

Excel opens a new workbook containing the exported data. Unless you have provided a Custom title (as described in the following section), this workbook is named using the Export title (Day Table in the example above).

Apply custom titles

If you provide a custom title for a window (using the Custom title field on the Export menu) the worksheet to which Data Workbench exports the data is named using this custom title instead of the title in the Export title field (Day Table in the example above).

To apply a custom title to a visualization

  1. Right-click the top border of the window and click in the Custom title field.
  2. you

When you export the visualization to Excel, the worksheet containing the data for this window is named using the title that you specified instead of the title in the Export title field.

Export window data to a TSV file

To export a window to a .tsv file

Right-click the top border of the window and click Export > Export TSV.

  1. The Save Window dialog box appears.
  2. Navigate to the directory in which you want to save the file. Change the name of the file if necessary, and click Save.
