Quick Export from File Menu
You can also export a dataset as CSV from File > Export Data as CSV.... The output uses UTF-8 encoding with column headers and no BOM. Filters and sort order are not applied — all rows are exported in dataset row-number order.
If you need to change the encoding, add a BOM, or apply filters and sort order, use the Export in Data Table instead. See Data Table: Data Export for details.
File Naming
The file name format depends on the operation.
- Data Table Export: The extension for the selected format is appended to the name you enter in the Export dialog. The name you enter is used as is. The dialog starts with a default value that begins with
dataset_and includes the dataset name and the export time, which you can edit freely - File menu CSV: Named after the dataset without a timestamp, such as
penguins.csv
The File menu CSV name and the default value in the Data Table Export dialog are built by applying the following transformations to the dataset name. Non-ASCII characters such as Japanese are preserved. When you edit the name in the Export dialog, these transformations are not applied to it.
- Characters
<>:"|?*/\, spaces, and hyphens are replaced with underscores - Consecutive underscores are collapsed into one
- Alphabetic characters are converted to lowercase
