# Exporting tables

Export tables with full context

Tellius now offers a powerful to export tables (flat or detailed) exactly as they appear in your Vizpad—with all filters and metadata intact. This eliminates the need to rebuild context manually in Excel or CSV files.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Row, cell, and table comments are excluded to improve performance and reduce file size.
{% endhint %}

1. Select **Export**, and select your desired format: **CSV**, **Excel**, or **PowerPoint**.
2. If you select **CSV**, the following configuration appears:

* **Set Custom Limit**: Toggle on to define:

  * **Row Limit**: The number of rows to include.
  * **Column Limit**: The number of columns to export.

3. If you select **Excel**, the following configuration appears:

* **Included Columns**: Choose specific columns to include or exclude in the downloaded Excel. Click on **Select All** to select all the columns. Search, sort, or filter to find the required columns.
* **Include Metadata:** Each column comes with an option to include its metadata (toggle on/off).&#x20;
* **Set Custom Limit**: Toggle on to define:
  * **Row Limit**: The number of rows to include.
  * **Column Limit**: The number of columns to export

{% hint style="warning" %}
The exported Excel file contains an additional sheet which lists metadata of included columns (if opted-in). Metadata includes **Display name, Description, Synonyms**, and **Aliases set**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

* Use **Excel format** for sharing internally with business teams.
* Use **CSV** for loading into pipelines or systems that process raw data.
* Set **row/column limits** for faster downloads or sampling large datasets.
  {% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.tellius.com/tellius-5.6/vizpads-explore/actions-in-view-mode/exporting-tables.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
