Workspace administrators can export module or dashboard data in a grid layout. This type of export layout includes filters, sort criteria, and line item styles.

Each export layout in Anaplan supports different views of your data. For example, you can use the grid layout to export data from one or all pages in a module.

In order to export data in a grid layout, you must first open the module or dashboard that contains the data to export.

To export data in a grid layout:

  1. In your module, select Data > Export. In your dashboard, select the arrow next to the module name to display the dashboard element menu, then select Data > Export.
  2. Optionally, in the Export dialog, select a file type in the Layout tab. 
    • For unformatted file types, select the Use digits setting for unformatted exports checkbox to export numbers without decimal separators. For example, 1,000,000 exports as 1000000.
  3. In Layout, select Grid.
  4. Optionally, under What to Include/Exclude: 
    • Select Current Page to export the data on the current page in your module, or select All Pages to export all pages. For example, if your module contains data across different pages, use All Pages to export all module data.
    • Select Omit Summary Items to exclude summary items.
    • Select Include Empty Rows or Omit Empty Rows to include or exclude empty rows in the export.
  5. Optionally, in the Labels tab, select the Include Row Label Headers checkbox to include row headers in the export.
    For example, in an XLS file, the model component positioned on rows in your module displays as a header in the A1 cell. This might be Line items, or the name of a list. 
  6. Optionally, in Labels, if the export contains a list, select the list labels you want to include in the export.
    You can include list item names, codes, and properties. The default label is Name. You can select X next to a label to remove it from the export.
  7. Optionally, if the export contains line items with list data types, in the Line Items of Data-Type "List" tab, select the dropdown under the list's name to export list item names or codes.
  8. If you want to save your export settings to run the export again, select the Save Export Definition checkbox at the bottom of the Export dialog. Then:
    1. In the Export Name field, type a name for the export.
    2. Choose whether to share the file with Administrators only or Everyone, or select Myself (keep private).
  9. Select Run Export.
