Download data from a Report

Updated

In the Reports app, you create a report in a few steps. First, you’ll be able to choose all of the parameters for your report. Next, you’ll be able to modify and download your newly created report while it is displayed in a table view.

Download your Report
To create a report, follow the steps outlined in this guide.

Note: Downloads are available with a paid plan. Excel downloads are limited to 3,000 geographies and 6,000 columns, and PDF downloads to 200 columns. For larger reports, download a CSV file.

You can download a report as Excel (standard or transposed), PDF, or CSV. From the CSV panel you can also download programs to import and label the data in SAS, SPSS, and STATA, and a data dictionary text file. These formats let you import your downloaded data into many software programs, including statistical packages, databases, spreadsheets, and GIS applications.

Download a CSV File

You can quickly download any report to a CSV file.

CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, and it is a highly portable format that can be read by many software programs, including statistical packages, databases, spreadsheets, and GIS applications. You can also open these files directly using Microsoft Excel or import the data into Microsoft Access.

  1. Click the icon.
  2. Set your output options from the Download options dropdown. For instance, you can check the box next to 'Output ALL geographic identifiers' in order to download the geography labels.
  3. Once you’ve selected your options, click Download.
Note: If you select more than one geography level, such as state and census tract, you will need to download separate CSV files for each geography level.
Tip: To download data for SAS, SPSS, or STATA, scroll down to the Download programs to import and label data menu.
