# Exporting to CSV

> Export Runway data to CSV when you need spreadsheet-ready output.

CSV exports give you spreadsheet-ready output from models, databases, driver tables, charts, and raw query results. Use them when you need to analyze Runway data outside the app or share a static extract with another workflow.

## Export a block

Database table blocks, driver grid blocks, and chart blocks include **Export to CSV** in the block menu. This option is also available in read-only views when you have export access.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the block menu">
    Open the menu for the database table block, driver grid block, or chart block.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export">
    Select **Export to CSV**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the file">
    Runway downloads a CSV for the block.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The filename uses `<Page> - <Block> - <Layer>.csv`. If the block name is unavailable, Runway falls back to `<Page> - <Layer>.csv`.

## Export a page-level CSV

Page-level **Export to CSV** is offered from the topbar page actions menu and the sidebar right-click menu for database pages and model pages with read access. Generic pages cannot be exported as a page-level CSV.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the page actions menu">
    Open a database page or model page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose export">
    Select **Export to CSV**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the file">
    Runway downloads the CSV using the page and scenario context.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Date range

CSV exports use the block's configured date range. When a block does not define a date range, Runway uses the default window of 12 months before last actuals through 6 months after.

## Export raw query results

Each data-source query's settings includes **Export CSV**. Use it when you need the raw query result rather than the shaped model or page output.

## Permissions

Export requires export permission. Guests can export where they have been granted export access. If you do not have access, Runway shows **You do not have the permissions to export this page.**
