📌 Export to CSV and XLSX is available on some of our plans. Check out the pricing page for detailed information about the plans.
Generate an export
To download a survey export, head to the Analyze tab and look for the ⬇Export button.
On the pop-up window, you'll be able to select if you wish to export data to XLSX or CSV, as well as decide if you'd rather export all responses from this survey or only submissions that fit the filters you applied.
❗️Due to the XLS file type limitations, it's only possible to have 65,536 rows in a single sheet. Therefore if your survey has more than 65,535 responses, please export your results in CSV format instead!
The download link is to be sent via email to your inbox and appear in the left corner.
🔧 You can export survey data from the Analyze ➡️ Overall results and
Analyze ➡️ Individual responses tab. The downloaded file will be the same.
Export results from a specific time frame
If you select a time frame other than Default in your survey's Analyze tab before clicking on Export:
you'll be able to decide if the downloaded file should contain all survey data or just results from your chosen date range by toggling on Export results with selected filters applied.
📌 If you want to see your export history and download an export you previously generated, go to Settings ➡️ Results export.
Analyze the results
CSV and XLSX reports contain data gathered for every respondent, and the information is organized in spreadsheets so that you can easily analyze the results. Each row corresponds to one survey submission and has information such as:
date and time of response;
response uuid and respondent uuid;
information about the device of the respondent;
URL on which the survey was taken;
the responses to each question the respondent answered;
contact information, such as name, email address, or job title, custom cookies values, and respondent attributes from other software, such as Intercom and HubSpot (if your survey collects such data).
📌 Dates and times of when responses were given are displayed in UTC.
The exported data will look similar to the below presentation.
