Once you have your CSV file:

In Excel or Google Sheets:

1. Open the CSV file directly, or import it into a new spreadsheet

2. Use filters to focus on specific skills or rating types

3. Create charts to visualise rating distributions

4. Use conditional formatting to highlight gaps (where current rating < target rating)

For Reporting:

• Identify skills with high targets but low current ratings (development priorities)

• Track progress by exporting periodically and comparing over time

FAQs

Q: Can I export skills for multiple users at once?
Individual exports are done per user. For bulk reporting across multiple users, use the Skills Reports on dashboards which offer aggregated views.

Q: What if a rating shows a dash (-)?
A dash indicates no rating has been recorded for that rating type (self, target, or manager) for that skill.

Q: Are rating labels included?
Yes. Both the numeric value and the label from your rating framework are included, so you see "3" and "Competent" (or whatever your labels are).

Q: Can I export historical skills data?
Exports show current skill ratings. For historical tracking, the audit trail on individual skills shows rating changes over time.

Q: What format is the date in?
The export doesn't include dates by default. Rating timestamps are available in the platform's audit trail.

Q: Can I import skills data back into Learn Amp?
Skills can be imported via the Skills CSV import feature (for creating/updating skills) or via user imports for assigning skills to users in bulk.
