Downloading data

Find out how to export data for offline analysis

If you want to export data from our platform for further analysis, you can do so in CSV or XLSX formats. 

You have the option to select which parts of the data you wish to export, which you will receive as a column-based view* of company data. All downloads will be restricted to the first 20,000 results. If you select any field within ‘financials’, the data will switch to row-based. 

*we have removed our old column-based view of company data (Jul 2024). 

To download an export just press the three dots next to your list name and select Download List from the menu. 

You can download data directly from EXPLORE, ANALYSE and ML LISTS. 

You will then be presented with a choice of format and data to include. If you choose CSV, you will receive a zip file with a number of separate CSV files, whereas the XLSX version will be one file with multiple sheets. 

Each checkbox represents a column in the spreadsheet. There are over 80 different checkboxes, grouped into 8 categories. Financial and employee data is broken down yearly, and only given if it is available.
