# How to generate a Final Report and export a Data Table in GenomeStudio 2011.1 Methylation Module
The GenomeStudio 2011.1 Methylation Module provides several options for exporting methylation analysis results for further review or downstream analysis. Depending on the type of data required, users can generate a Final Report or export data from the Group Methylation Profile or Sample Methylation Profile Data Table.
The following sections describe how to generate a Final Report and export Data Table.
**Generating a Final Report**
1. In the GenomeStudio 2011.1 Methylation Module menu, select **Analysis > Reports**.

2. Select **Final Report** and browse to the directory where the Final Report file will be saved. Enter the desired file name. The default filename extension is .txt which generates a tab-delimited text file.

3. Select the desired checkboxes to specify the options and fields to include in the report.

5. Select **Yes** to view report, otherwise select **No**. To view the report at a later time, browse to the location where the report is saved and open the file.
### **Exporting Data Table**
1. Navigate to the Sample Methylation Profile or Group Methylation Profile Tab in the GenomeStudio 2011.1 Methylation project.
2. Select **Column Chooser** to select the columns to be displayed in the table.
**Figure 5.** Sample Methylation Profile tab with the Column Chooser button highlighted.
3. In the Column Chooser, select values under Hidden Columns or Hidden Subcolumns. Select the **<=Show** button to move the Hidden Columns to the Displayed Columns and/or Displayed Subcolumns.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/microarray/general/microarray-general-reference_material-list/000008282.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
