# Download as Excel
Export dataframes to an Excel file.
Exporting dataframes to an Excel file allows you to export multiple dataframes at once. To export dataframes to an Excel file.
1. Open the `Home` tab of the Mito toolbar.
2. Click the `Export` button in the Mito toolbar, and select `Download File`.
3. Set the `Export Type` to Excel.
4. Select the dataframes you want to export. You can include multiple.
5. Click the `Download` button at the bottom of the toolbar.
6. This Excel file will appear in your Downloads folder.
### Export with Formatting
With [Mito Pro](https://www.trymito.io/plans), you can preserve the formatting of your data in your Excel exports. Exporting with formatting allows you to create presentation-ready Excel reports all through Mito and Python.
Before exporting an Excel file, you can set background and text colors using the [Set Dataframe Format](/how-to/formatting.md) taskpane, and this will be included in the exported Excel file.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.trymito.io/how-to/exporting-to-csv-and-excel/download-as-excel.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
