The export function does have an option to “Export Table” vs “Export Table With Updates”. If you export “… With Updates”, it adds this to a separate tab. Can you clarify how you want updates represented?
Yes! I’d like this too.
Yes! I’d like this too.
I’m guessing you’re talking about if you use filters or hide column, you don’t want that in the export? If so, I agree with that too.
Export function is not consistent. The option to Export w/out updates is only available when exporting from the main menu (horizontal ellipsis) button. See images below.
Not only with filters. I’m using board views to change the column structure of the board, so data is contextualized for the user. Hidden columns are not included, but on export the column structure from the main board is maintained.
Ah… on the group and view level. Got it. I agree the feature is inconsistent. I’d also like to see it operate the way you’re requesting.
At the very least, labeling doesn’t make it easy to understand that’s the default function until you’ve toyed with it. If the feature isn’t expanded, it’d be better to say “Export Main View” or something so at least the user has the right expectation of the outcome.
Hi Aaren, thanks for the reply. The export with/without updates is annoying, but I find the inability to maintain column structure very frustrating.
I hope Monday.com remove their branding, allow exporting as .csv and unlocked files and reduce the font sizes as well!
I agree to all of this, particularly the column formatting. The rest is a bit cosmetic.
I DO like the fact that you can do a search, reduce the list and export THAT list, not the entire list of pulses. A great start!
Yes! Remove the banner from exports!
Also, we have to constantly make the font size and cell sizes more uniform and then have to add all the boards as different tabs in the same sheet. It’s not a big deal with one board, but when there are several that have to be done right before the meetings (so that they are as up to date as possible) it becomes tedious. If there was a way to export all boards as different tabs and pre-set formatting it would make life easier.
FYI, if you want to export filtered results from your view, just apply your filters, then select all items in the group (Group Dropdown → Select All Items) and you’ll find the “Export” option in the contextual toolbar (the one that appears when you select some items).
So this feature is kinda available right now, but you’ll have to think to find it. It would make much more sense to have an option in the general Export Board modal to “Keep the current view state in export (filters and column customizations)” - or something like that.
I guess the first point has already been done, but I still second points 2 and 3!
(I never had problems with the structure of the export before, but if it hasn’t been altered so far, the I second that too).
What I also would like is to be able to “filter columns” and then export, as I have to create reports every week with some of the columns and have then to delete all the ones I do not want manually in the sheet.
