# Menu - Administration – Export data…

The export function may be used to export the measurement data from the system so they can be used in other applications like present graphs in Microsoft Excel.

Please note that the selection scope for sensors depends on the user scope. In the other words a user can export data only for the sensors he has in his object groups.

To export data select the “Export data…” in the “Administration” menu.

Select which sensors to export data from and choose the period typing or selecting start and end dates. Select the export format. The options are basic text, basic text average and basic xml.

Click export and select the folder to export the data to.

The system creates a subdirectory named “Boomerang\_rpt\_\_yyyy\_mm\_dd\_hh\_mm\_ss\_” basing on the current date and time e.g. “Boomerang\_rpt\_2016-08-18\_11\_20\_37” and a file with data exported is saved there.

A green progress bar is shown above the “Export” button.

Click “Cancel” or close the export form to exit the export menu.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/boomerang-2-system-administrator-manual/menu_-_administration__export_data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
