Downloading Data Sets
Each report or dashboard is made up of ‘tiles’. For reports, there is typically only one tile – the data set.
- Within a report or dashboard, hover over the report field headers towards the top right-hand corner. You will see three dots (when you hover, it will say ‘Tile actions’); click these, then select ‘Download data’
-
A pop-up will appear and the default format will be ‘CSV’ (see note below).
-
Select ‘Advanced data options’.
-
DO NOT change the settings under ‘Results’ or ‘Data values’; otherwise, you may corrupt the data export.
-
Under ‘Number of rows to include’, select ‘All results’ to export the entire data set, including any rows beyond the default limit of 500 visible in the interface.
-
Click ‘Download’ to download your results. (Note: once you click ‘Download’, depending on the size of the data being extracted, you will not necessarily see your browser react for a few minutes. Once the data has been extracted, you will see your browser update the ‘download’ icon, typically found in the top-right of your browser window. This is a limitation of the Looker application that VitalSource is not able to alter at this time.)
