# Dashboard and Export Data Don't Match

> Reconcile CSV, scheduled, GCS, and Data Export API results with the Northbeam dashboard.

An export only matches the dashboard when both requests use the same settings and data state.

## 1. Identify the export

Record whether you are comparing a:

* One-time CSV export
* Scheduled export
* Google Cloud Storage export
* Data Export API response

Also record when the export was generated.

## 2. Match every setting

Confirm that the export and dashboard use the same:

* Account
* Date range and timezone
* Metrics
* Attribution model and window
* Accounting mode
* Filters and breakdown level
* Granularity, such as daily, weekly, or monthly

For the Data Export API, compare the request parameters directly with the dashboard settings.

## 3. Compare the same data state

Recent data can change as new orders, spend, and attribution inputs are processed. Regenerate the export before comparing it with the current dashboard.

## 4. Check export-specific options

Options such as aggregated data, zero-value row removal, chart values versus table values, and included breakdowns can change the result.

Review [Exporting Data](/docs/exporting-data) for the available export methods and settings. You can also open [Sales](https://dashboard.northbeam.io/sales), [Documents](https://dashboard.northbeam.io/customers/documents), or [Manage Exports](https://dashboard.northbeam.io/settings/manage-exports).

If the discrepancy remains, provide Support with the export file, generation time, request parameters, dashboard URL, and screenshots of both totals.
