### 2. Choose export format

Click the export button and choose your format: **CSV** (standard or expanded layout), **Excel (XLSX)**, the survey structure as **PDF/Word**, or a [PowerPoint presentation](https://www.questionpunk.com/support/ppt-generation) with charts, themes, and AI summaries. For response data exports, you can also choose an answer format: **Labels** (text labels), **Numeric** (numeric codes), or **Both** (labels and codes side by side).

### 3. Filter before export

Use filters to export only the data you need: filter by suspicious level (low/medium/high), response type (real vs. synthetic), language, or date range. You can also toggle whether to include fraud scores in the export.

### 4. Include respondent codes

Toggle the **Include codes** option before exporting to add respondent code columns to your CSV or XLSX file. Each code appears as a column so you can filter and analyze by your custom tags.

## Details

CSV export offers two layouts: **Standard** (one row per respondent, useful for spreadsheet tools and quick analysis) and **Expanded** (one row per question/answer, useful for detailed joins and per-question analysis). Choose an answer format (labels, numeric, or both) to control how responses appear in the export.

Excel (XLSX) export provides formatted spreadsheets ready for analysis.

PDF and Word exports capture the survey structure and design, useful for documentation and stakeholder review.

[PowerPoint (PPTX) export](https://www.questionpunk.com/support/ppt-generation) produces a presentation-ready deck with per-question charts, AI-generated themes, and summary slides — ideal for sharing findings with stakeholders.

The Analysis sub-tab supports exporting the full AI-generated narrative report as PDF, Word, or Excel, including charts, themes, and summaries. The Breakdown sub-tab lets you download individual charts as PDF, PNG, or JPG.

Suspicious level is included in exports so you can filter at the analysis stage.

Respondent codes can be included in CSV and XLSX exports by toggling the codes option. This adds columns for each code, making it easy to segment and filter responses by your custom tags in external analysis tools.
