How to Export your Data

• Verify that the search you are exporting includes every type of listing (active, contingent, pending, closed, expired, canceled, etc) for at least one year back from the effective date you're using. The further back you go the more likely you are to include pertinent data. I recommend 2.5 years since TrendSheet 4 analyzes two years of data.
• Click 'Export' at the top right then click 'download a file'.
• Verify that 'Export all matches' is selected.
• Click 'Custom Text Export' and choose the export you created which should be named 'TrendSheet 4'.
• Type in the verification text and click 'Export'.
• Save the file by whichever file name and into whichever folder you prefer (depending on your browser settings you may not be given the option to choose the file name/location).

The last thing to do is copy and paste the data from the export into TrendSheet 4. If you need help with this please check out our video on the topic:
