# Exporting to CSV

You can export the data in a storyboard project in comma separated value (.CSV) file format.

You can view this data in any application that supports comma separated value files, such as Microsoft Excel. If you do not have Microsoft Excel installed, you can save the.CSV file to your computer, and then open the file in another application.

To export a storyboard to a CSV file:

1. Select File > Export to > CSV.

The Export to CSV dialog box opens.

2. Specify the location and name of the folder that will contain the storyboard project’s data. Either type in the path directly or click the Browse button to display a window to select a file.

3. In the Setup CSV Export Parameters panel, in the Field Separator drop-down menu, select the fields separator (Comma, Semicolon, Tab or Vertical bar).

4. Select the data you want to export.

5. In the Export Range panel, select whether to export the entire storyboard, specific shots, or the last panel you selected. Either enter a space between shot names or click the Browse button to display a window to select shots.

6. To view the CSV file directly in Microsoft Excel or another application that recognizes the CSV format, select Launch reader/player after export.

7. Click Export to confirm your settings and begin the export.
