# Export to Excel component
Exporting search results to a Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheet (that is, to an `.xlsx` file) can be useful for end users who want to leverage a [search interface](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2741/) to generate information lists.

The [`ExportToExcel`](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/exporttoexcel.html) component appears as an option of the [**Settings** menu](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1644/) ![Settings](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/coveo-platform/icon-settings.png) when a [`Settings`](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/settings.html) component is initialized.



> **Important**
>
> The maximum number of results in a spreadsheet is 1000.
> This is how Coveo works by design, as it's a relevancy tool that's not supposed to **extract** all the results as reporting tools do.

## Adding the Export to Excel feature to a search interface

Find the `<div class="coveoSettings">` section, and then add the following code to the section:

```html
<div class="CoveoExportToExcel"></div>
```

The `<div class="coveo-search-section">` section should now look like this:

```html
<div class="coveo-search-section">
	<div class="CoveoSearchbox" data-enable-omnibox="true"></div>
	<div class="CoveoSettings">
		<div class="CoveoExportToExcel"></div>
	</div>
</div>
```
