The OpenBB Terminal offers a variety of ways to export financial data. This can be to a text-based file - XLSX, CSV or JSON -  or as images - PNG, JPG, PDF and SVG.

To export as a spreadsheet, `xlsx`,  add `--export xlsx` to the  command.

```console
/stocks/load AAPL -s 2010-01-01 --export xlsx
```

Which creates:

## Specifying the Filename

Instead of the default filename, it can be specified. Exporting as a `csv` this time:

```console
/stocks/load AAPL -s 2010-01-01 --export apple.csv
```

![Filename Example](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46355364/214818131-597b3bd0-9c66-43f1-bf0e-2c0a703e2645.png)

## Specifying a Target Sheet Name

With the `xlsx` option, `--sheet-name`  allows multiple datasets to be saved to the same file. For example:

```console
/stocks/load AAPL -s 2010-01-01 --export apple.xlsx --sheet-name Market Data
```

Then enter the `fa` (Fundamental Analysis) menu.  Copy and paste the code below to follow along.  This requires an API key from FinancialModelingPrep which you can obtain for free. Please have a look [here](/terminal/usage/data/api-keys).

```console
fa
income --source FinancialModelingPrep -l 10 --export apple.xlsx --sheet-name Income Statement
balance --source FinancialModelingPrep -l 10 --export apple.xlsx --sheet-name Balance Sheet
cash --source FinancialModelingPrep -l 10 --export apple.xlsx --sheet-name Cash Flow Statement
```

This generates a file for `AAPL`, with market data from 2010-01-01 until now, as well as the  income, balance and cash flow statements from the last ten years.
