Exporting data from Amazon QuickSight analyses
Note
Export files can directly return information from the dataset import. This makes the files vulnerable to CSV injection if the imported data contains formulas or commands. For this reason, export files can prompt security warnings. To avoid malicious activity, turn off links and macros when reading exported files.
You can export data from an analysis to a CSV or PDF file. See the following sections for more information.
Export data from an analysis to a CSV file
To export data from an analysis or dashboard to a comma-separated values (CSV) file, follow the procedure in Exporting data from visuals.
Export data from an analysis to a PDF file
You can export content from a dashboard into a Portable Document Format file (PDF). Similar to a print-out, this format provides a snapshot of the current sheet as it appears on-screen at the time of download.
To export an analysis as a PDF
-
From the analysis that you want to export, choose File > Export to PDF. Amazon QuickSight begins to prepare the analysis for download.
-
Choose VIEW EXPORTS in the blue pop-up to open the Exports pane on the right.
-
Choose DOWNLOAD in the green pop-up.
-
To see all analyses or reports that are ready to download, choose File > Exports. The Exports panel will open on the right side of the screen. Select Click to download next to the file that you want to save to your preferred location.
The process for exporting to a PDF works the same way in both dashboards and analyses.
You can also attach a PDF to dashboard email reports. For more information, see Scheduling and sending reports by email.
