Remove odata and other text from export to CSV

Posted on by JeffC

I want to export a sharepoint list to a CSV file but it is exporting more than just the value. There are tons of odata.type stuff that I see. The only data I want to see in the IT Ticket type column is the actual value which in this case is "issue"

ITTicketType

{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":1,"Value":"Issue"}

What I want to see is

ITTicketType

Issue

Below is the create CSV portion of my flow.

How do I get rid of all this other information?

I would greatly appreciate some direction.

Thanks,

Jeff

I realized I was not using the value field which is the reason all the odata is showing up. However, it is strange that I can't use the item type as the header. If I use the item type as the header it doesn't show up but if I manually type something in the header it works.

Jeff, I'm having this same issue. Are you able to clarify what you mean by using the Value field? Did you change anything in your SharePoint list, or was it in the Flow? Are you able to screenshot what you did to resolve this?

Hi. I know this is old but hopefully it helps other people.
If your list has choice columns, those columns will return all the odata text.
The way to fix this is instead of selecting the column name as the Value which will essentially create an expression like this:

item()?['YourColumnName']

rather add a custom expression and type this:

item()?['YourColumnName']?['Value']

and this will only return the values from the column.
