Cloudera Data Visualization allows you to save the underlying data used in a
visual to a CSV file. This is useful for further analysis or offline data sharing. The name of
the downloaded file reflects the name of the visual and includes a timestamp indicating when the
file was created.
Before you download the visual as CSV file, make sure the
Enable "Download as CSV/Excel" by default feature is enabled in site
settings. For instructions, see Visuals in Managing dashboard site settings.
Click the icon in the top-right corner of the visual and select Download as... > CSV.
A message appears: Generating the requested file and Cloudera Data Visualization saves the visual to a CSV file.
When the download is complete, open your browser’s default download folder.
In this example, the generated file name,
Table_Visual_20250714093845.csv, has the following
components:
Table_Visual: Same as the visual name
20250714: Date of download in YYYYMMDD
format
093845: Time of download in hhmmss format
If the visual name contains characters not supported by your file system (for example
slashes), Cloudera Data Visualization replaces them automatically. For example:
Original visual name: Table/Visual
Generated file name: Table_Visual_20250714093845.csv (Forward
slash / is replaced with an underscore _)
icon in the top-right corner of the visual and select .
