Export data from a crosstab

To export the data from a crosstab, go to the Exports tab.

You will see a list of any prior exports with their status, creation date, and download link. 

Use the Preview Export button to see how your export will look. The preview does not contain any figures.

Use Close Preview to exit the modal and return to the Exports tab. If you're happy with the preview, click the Export button.

The EXPORT CROSSTAB modal will open. Enter a name for the export, select the options you want, and then click Submit.

The system will begin creating your file. You will see a green success message.

Your export will be listed. It will probably have a status of Processing as mine does above.

Use the link in the success message to refresh the page. When the export has been completed, the status will change to Ready to Download. Click the Download link.


The file will be named export_name time date.xlsx. I gave my export the name Gender/Color Export Test. The file name is Gender_Color Export Test 13_52_48 11-03-2025.xlsx. (The time is in coordinated universal time, or UTC.)

The exported file will contain several tabs. 

The first tab, Settings, shows basic information about the crosstab, including:
