Sometimes, you need to save the results of a query (orange icon) to your computer. This may be to reference in the future, to import into your email marketing program, or to further filter the data in Microsoft Excel – whatever the reason, Ascend allows you to export these results in a variety of formats.

Editable format

  1. From the results toolbar, click the arrow next to the Export button and choose CSV (comma separated values) or XLSX (Microsoft Excel or Open Office).
