# Exports

<p class="callout info">Most tables in the ERP offer the option to export data to a formatted excel file.</p>

This can be done by clicking the export **button with** the **Excel file icon.** During export generating, the button displays a loading animation. Once finished, the exported excel file is automatically downloaded onto your computer.

The exported file is always named by the formula **exported-table-name\_today's-date-and-time\_random-number.xlsx**

<p class="callout info">**Export** is **affected** by **table filters** and **search.** If **no filters/search** are applied, **all rows** in the table will be **exported.**</p>

**Example:** *Export of countries that are members of united nations and the european union.*

##### Special purpose exports

On certain tables, special, formatted exports are available alongside the default export. Here, a list of available exports is shown in a tooltip. These exports are present for a specific purpose and are usually unaffected by set filters or selected visible columns.
