# Configure the format of exported form data

You can change how [form results are exported](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/104/sitecore-experience-platform/export-form-results.html) by customizing the culture setting, the date format, and the delimiter.

To configure the format of exported form data:

- Go to `App_Config\Sitecore\ExperienceForms\Sitecore.ExperienceForms.config` and modify any of the following settings:

    ```

    <!-- SITECORE EXPERIENCEFORMS EXPORTCULTURE PARAMETER
               Specifies the culture when exporting forms data e.g. "en", "da-DK", etc.
               Default value: "" (i.e. invariant culture)-->

          <setting name="Sitecore.ExperienceForms.ExportCulture" value="" />

    <!-- SITECORE EXPERIENCEFORMS EXPORTDATEFORMAT PARAMETER
               Specifies the date format when exporting forms date field values.
               Default value: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm-->

          <setting name="Sitecore.ExperienceForms.ExportDateFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" />

    <!-- SITECORE EXPERIENCEFORMS EXPORTDELIMITER PARAMETER
               Specifies the format delimiter when exporting forms data.
               Default value: , -->

          <setting name="Sitecore.ExperienceForms.ExportDelimiter" value="," />
    ```

> [!note]
> You cannot export form data programmatically using the Forms export API. To do so requires that you create and implement your own API.
