Export Results

When the analysis is done, the results live in Pactly’s grid. To put them in a report, a finance request, or a deal-room summary, export the project to an Excel file and send that file wherever you need it.

Export when the run is finished, not before. The export captures whatever is in each cell at that moment, so any cell still showing Pending, Error, or Not found is written into the spreadsheet as that text. Wait for a clean run, then export.

Choose what to include

In the Export to Excel dialog, pick the optional columns. Include AI reasoning columns (on by default) adds a Reasoning column showing the AI's explanation for each value. Reasoning is only added for columns set to show it, so the box has no effect on columns where reasoning is off. Include source reference columns (off by default) adds a Source column with the clause reference each value came from, for every column.

Click Export to download the file

Click Export in the dialog. The file downloads to your browser as an .xlsx spreadsheet named after the project (with an _export suffix), ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool.

What’s in the file

Section titled “What’s in the file”

The spreadsheet has one row per contract and a Contract column with each contract’s name, followed by one column per data column, plus any reasoning or source columns you included.

Values export close to how they read in the grid: Yes/No columns export as “Yes” or “No”. Cells without a clean value carry their state as text rather than a blank: Not found when the AI found nothing, Error when extraction failed, and Pending when the cell has not been analyzed yet. One wording difference to expect: a cell the grid shows as N/A is written into the spreadsheet as Not found.

Other project actions

Section titled “Other project actions”

The More actions menu (the three dots in the project header) covers what to do with the project once you have what you need:

  • Duplicate copies the project’s contracts and columns into a fresh project with no results, so you can re-run a similar analysis without rebuilding it.
  • Archive moves the project out of the main list. It is hidden, not deleted; turn on Show archived on the Projects list to bring it back.
  • Delete permanently removes the project and all its results. This cannot be undone.
