Exporting data from 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. To export data from an analysis or dashboard to a CSV file, follow the procedure in Exporting data from visuals.
Use the procedure below to export an analysis as a PDF.
-
From the analysis that you want to export, choose File > Export to PDF. QuickSight begins to prepare the analysis for download.
-
Choose VIEW EXPORTS in the blue pop-up to open the Exports pane on the right.
-
Choose DOWNLOAD in the green pop-up.
-
To see all analyses or reports that are ready to download, choose File Exports. The Exports panel will open on the right side of the screen. Select Click to download next to the file that you want to save to your preferred location.
The process for exporting to a PDF works the same way for both dashboards and analyses.
You can also attach a PDF to dashboard email reports. For more information, see Scheduling and sending QuickSight reports by email.
