There are many reasons you might want to print or export a report from Brightmetrics — sharing it with someone who doesn't need Brightmetrics access, or converting it to a format that allows further calculations or analysis. Brightmetrics supports three export formats:
| Great for sharing with stakeholders. Brightmetrics automatically switches between portrait and landscape and narrows columns to fit a letter-sized page, but if there are too many columns the remaining ones will be clipped. | |
| XLS | Native Excel format, formatted to look good when opened in Excel with all subtotal and total groupings maintained. Best when you want to view the report in Excel without much further manipulation. |
| CSV | A generic, unformatted layout importable into Excel or many other data tools. Fewer header rows and total fields. Best when you intend to perform further data manipulation. |
Printing and exporting from charts
When you drill down into a chart using the magnifying glass in the upper right-hand corner, you can modify the pivot table view on the fly and save it so the same view is available each time you return to that drill-down. You can also build the table with whatever data you require and then print or export it.
Clicking the Export button will export the table view in the format you choose. The Print button will open a Print View of the table:
At the top of the Print View page, you can select Print or export as Excel (XLS), PDF, or CSV:
