# Export Guides

> Nextedy POWERSHEET provides built-in export capabilities that let you take your sheet data out of Siemens Polarion ALM for offline analysis, reporting, and stakeholder distribution.

export const LastReviewed = ({date}) => {
  if (!date) return null;
  const formatted = new Date(`${date}T00:00:00Z`).toLocaleDateString("en-US", {
    year: "numeric",
    month: "long",
    day: "numeric",
    timeZone: "UTC"
  });
  return <p className="mt-10 text-sm text-gray-400 dark:text-zinc-500 not-prose">
      Last reviewed on {formatted}
    </p>;
};

## Export Options

  <Card title="Export to Excel" icon="file" href="/powersheet/guides/export/export-to-excel">
    Export your sheet data to an Excel spreadsheet, preserving column structure, formatting, and hierarchy for offline analysis and editing.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No PDF export" icon="circle-xmark" href="/powersheet/guides/export/export-to-pdf">
    Powersheet has no built-in PDF export — sheet data exports to Excel only. See the details and PDF alternatives.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Export format

Powersheet provides a single built-in export format — **Microsoft Excel (`.xlsx`)**. There is no PDF export (see [Export to PDF](/powersheet/guides/export/export-to-pdf)). The Excel export is a fully editable spreadsheet that preserves column structure, hierarchy (via indentation and grouping), and cell formatting, and can be re-imported.

<Tip title="Export Scope">
  The Excel export respects the currently active **view** in your sheet configuration. If you have configured views with specific column visibility presets, only the visible columns will appear in the exported file. Adjust your view before exporting to control what data is included.

1. **Configure your view** — Select or create a view that shows only the columns you need in the export.
2. **Apply filters** — Use entity queries or document filters to narrow the data set.
3. **Export to Excel** — generate and download the Excel file (the only built-in export format).
4. **Download the file** — The exported file is generated and downloaded to your browser.
