Press the Save or OK button and save the file.  Your data will now be saved in the file location and under the filename you’ve chosen. 

Be sure to remember where you save your file.  This is the exported file that will be used to create your graphs. 

Once you have saved your exported file, you are ready to run the Visual Pricing System. 

When you run the application you will need to find the exported data file, so be aware of where the file has been placed.   It may make sense to move the file to a location that is easier to access.
