Save as a Microsoft Excel File

There are two options for saving data tables as Microsoft Excel files:

Save one data table in Microsoft Excel format (.xls or .xlsx). Data from a single table is saved in a workbook named after the data table.

Generate a workbook in .xlsx format from multiple tables. Data from each table appear on a different worksheet in the workbook.

The .xlsx file includes data table cell colors. The file also provides hidden data and excluded data. Formulas and most formatting are not included.

The maximum length of the Excel filename is determined by your computer’s operating system.

Save Multiple Data Tables as a Microsoft Excel Workbook

To save multiple data tables in a new or existing Microsoft Excel workbook, follow these steps:

1. Open the data tables.

2. (Windows) Select File > Export > Excel > Export Multiple Data Tables, and then click Next.

3. (macOS) Select File > Export, select Export Multiple Data Tables from the Excel list, and then click Next.

4. In the JMP Data Table column, select only the data tables that you want to save.

6. Enter a name for the workbook in the Workbook Name box.

The workbook is named after the current data table by default.
