Hi

 

I'm new in Power Apps. I'm building forms to input information and saving it in Dataverse. I've created lists of Choices like the one below for many of the columns in the table.

Now, when I export the data from the table it download like this (numbers for every single column):

I want to be able to export the info as it appears in Dataverse. Is there any way to do this?

    Hi @BirdieG 

     

    One option is creating a power automate flow to export data in CSV format. You could share the csv file as an email attachment or save it to one drive folder or SharePoint online document library.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @BirdieG 

     

    The first thing you should know is that the database stores the logical values (numbers) on the one hand and the label on the other hand, in the case when option set is used.

     

    However, when we export to Excel the label always appears, if you use the process of exporting data from the table and not from the application it is much more complex.

     

    The first thing you should do is have a Model Driven Apps, then go to the table and do the following steps

    Then this will download an excel file with the fields that are present in the view, try to enter all the fields you need, in my case enter industry which is an option set.

    As you can see, the value comes out with consulting, which is an industry value.

    In the other way, the csv is more complex to work with, this way that I have explained to you is much simpler and you only work with the fields you need
