To export the report data into an Excel .csv file, select Export. This action exports the usage data of all users and enables you to do simple sorting, filtering, and searching for further analysis.
The following table contains definitions of the metrics available in the report.

| Deleted | This metric indicates that the user's license was removed. NOTE: Activity for a deleted user displays in a report as long as they were licensed at some time during the selected time period.
