# Download property data from Property Finder Once you have the desired number of properties shown in the map and table, you can download the data as a map or a spreadsheet. Scroll down to the bottom of the table and look for the "Export data" buttons. We've provided a link called "Jump to the property map and table export tools" underneath "Parcels & Properties within [Place name]" to get you to the bottom of the table faster. To download the map, click "Download map for GIS", which will cause a GeoJSON file to be downloaded with those properties. GeoJSON files are compatible with all GIS programs. Next to that button is one called "Export as CSV", which will cause a CSV file to be downloaded that can be opened in Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and other spreadsheet applications. ## Importing tip When importing CSV files to Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, it's important to turn off their auto-detection and data conversion features. These features are designed to recognize data types (like numbers, currency, and dates) for contextual sorting and filtering, but they cause problems. For example, not all PINs are numbers because some PINs start with "0". If the PIN is auto-detected to be a number, then Sheets and Excel will remove the "0" and you're left with an invalid, 13-digit PIN (all PINs have 14 digits). Screenshot 1 below shows the dialog box in Google Sheets when importing a CSV. Uncheck the checkbox next to "Convert text..." before clicking "Import data". It's easier to do this before importing than it is to undo the auto-detection and conversion after importing.  *Screenshot 1 shows the import setting to use in Google Sheets.* ## Related articles - [[Exporting for GIS]] - [[Exporting to spreadsheet]]
