How to Export Screener Results

Exporting screener results means downloading the filtered stock list and its visible columns as a CSV file so you can sort, model and compare the data in Excel, Google Sheets or any tool outside the browser.

The browser table is great for scanning and shortlisting, but serious analysis usually happens elsewhere — in a spreadsheet, a notebook, or a portfolio model. Exporting to CSV is the bridge between the screener and that downstream workflow.

TL;DR: On ScreenerHub, CSV export is a Pro feature. It downloads the current result set with the columns you have visible, in the currency and locale you are using. Configure the table first, then export — what you see is what you get.


What Gets Exported

The export reflects the exact view you have on screen. It is not a hidden database dump.

Included in the CSVNot included
Every row that matches your active criteriaStocks filtered out by your screen
Every column currently visible in the results tableHidden columns (add them before exporting)
Values in your selected currency (USD or EUR)Historical snapshots or time series — exports are point-in-time
Ticker, company name, sector and industryCharts, news or qualitative commentary

This means two small steps before you click export matter more than the export itself: pick the right columns and sort the table the way you want the file to open.


When CSV Export Is the Right Tool

Exporting is not always the best next step. Use it when the spreadsheet adds something the browser cannot.

Good reason to exportBetter handled in-app
You want to score stocks with your own weighted modelQuick ranking — sort the table column instead
You need to merge screener data with a portfolio sheetTracking a few names over time — use a watchlist instead
You want a historical record of today's shortlistRe-running the same idea later — save the screener
You need to share raw numbers with someone offlineSharing the strategy itself — share the screener URL

If your goal is to monitor a list rather than analyze it, see How to Monitor a Watchlist Effectively and How to Set Up Stock Alerts.


Step by Step: Export Results on ScreenerHub

CSV export is available on Pro plans. The workflow is the same for every screen.

Step 1: Build or open the screen you want to export

Start from a saved screener or build a new one in Studio. Make sure the active criteria really describe the universe you want — the export will mirror them exactly.

Step 2: Add the columns you actually need

This is the step most people skip. The CSV contains the visible columns, so add anything you will want in the spreadsheet — for example P/E ratio, ROE, free cash flow, debt-to-equity, or dividend yield.

If a column is missing afterwards, you have to re-export — there is no separate "export everything" mode.

Step 3: Sort the table the way you want the file ordered

The CSV preserves the current sort. Sort by your primary screen metric so the file opens with the strongest candidates at the top, just like in the browser.

Step 4: Click Export and choose CSV

Use the Export action above the results table and pick CSV. The file downloads with a timestamped filename so you can keep multiple snapshots of the same screen.

Step 5: Open the file in your tool of choice

CSV opens cleanly in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets and any data tool. Numeric columns are exported as numbers — not strings — so formulas, pivots and conditional formatting work immediately.

Tips for Working With the File

A few small habits make exported data much more useful.

  • Date the file. ScreenerHub adds a timestamp, but if you save copies, keep the date in the filename. Screener data is point-in-time.
  • Lock the header row in your spreadsheet so column names stay visible while you scroll.
  • Add a "notes" column in the spreadsheet, not in ScreenerHub. The export is for analysis; the screener stays clean.
  • Re-export instead of editing in place. If criteria or thresholds change, run the export again rather than patching numbers manually.

Common Mistakes When Exporting

  1. Exporting before configuring columns. The CSV only contains visible columns — hidden ones are not added back later.
  2. Treating the file as live data. It is a snapshot. The next earnings release can change everything.
  3. Exporting huge lists you will not read. If the result set is in the hundreds, tighten the screen first.
  4. Mixing currencies between exports. Switch currency once at the start; the export reflects whatever is active.
  5. Replacing the watchlist with CSVs. For ongoing tracking, a watchlist plus alerts is better than a folder of files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CSV export available on the free plan?

No. CSV export is a ScreenerHub Pro feature. Free users can still view, sort and shortlist results in the browser and save screeners for re-use.

Which columns are included in the export?

Only the columns currently visible in the results table. Add or remove columns before you click export — the file mirrors your on-screen view exactly.

In what currency are the numbers exported?

In the currency you have active in the app (USD or EUR). If you need both, switch currency and export twice; the dataset behind each export is a separate materialized view.

Can I export historical screener results?

No. Each export is a point-in-time snapshot of today's data. If you want to track how a screen evolves over time, save dated CSVs or use a watchlist for ongoing monitoring.

Does the export include all matching stocks or only the visible page?

The export includes every stock that matches your current criteria, not just the page on screen. Pagination is a UI convenience; the file contains the full filtered universe.

Can I import the CSV back into ScreenerHub?

Not directly. To recreate a list in ScreenerHub, save the screener itself — the screener definition is the reusable artifact, not the CSV. Use the CSV for external analysis, and the saved screener for repeatable workflows.
