Important: We've redesigned the Amazon QuickSight analysis workspace. You might encounter screenshots or procedural text that doesn't reflect the new look in the QuickSight console. We're in the process of updating screenshots and procedural text.

To find a feature or item, use the Quick search bar.

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

  1. From the analysis that you want to export, choose the Export icon at the top right.

  2. Choose Generate PDF.

  3. When you choose Generate PDF, QuickSight begins preparing the analysis for download. Choose View downloads in the blue pop-up to open the Downloads pane on the right.

  4. There are two ways to download your analysis:

    • Choose DOWNLOAD NOW in the green pop-up.

    • Choose the Export icon at the top right, and then choose View downloads to view and download every analysis or report that is ready to download.

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.
