Export all rows except last level

If you want your users to prevent to export the lowest member of your groupings, you can use this option. The row level data will not be exported because the export only contains the aggregated data of your grouping structure.

Format exported values (CSV files)

In the DATA tab of configuration you can set the formatting of your measures. This option allows you to include this formatting in your export, or use the raw data without the formatting on the Configuration | DATA pane. SuperTables will not export the formatting of the table in your dashboard because this is only about the formatted values in the export.

Include formatting in copied values

In the DATA tab of configuration you can set the formatting of your measures. This option allows you to include or exclude this formatting when you copy selected cells (or rows) to the clipboard using the context menu (context menu can be accessed by using a right mouse click)

Export Name

Change the default file name when exporting to CSV or Excel. By default (no changes), the extension will be “export.xlsx” for Excel and “export.csv” for CSV exports. You can change the default filename and the file extension. For example, Newfilename – Newfilename.txt. If you want a dynamic export name, you can store the export filename in a parameter in Tableau and use the "Use parameter value" option to choose a parameter as the export value.
